Unhappy 2000 Navi occasionally doesn't start. PLS HELP!

Hey guys, I really need some help here. On occasion (and at random,) my Navigator will not start. It usually happens at least 3 times each summer. It started doing this a few years ago and hasnt been that big of an issue. Well, first off, let me tell you what happens. After driving the car, I park it and shut it off. Then, after an hour or so, I get back into it and try to start it but it won't. As I turn the key, the dash quickly dims off, and when I release the key, the dash comes back on. The engine doesn't even try to crank. So I leave the car in its parking spot overnight and come back the next day. I get in and try to start the car. It starts up perfectly normally! What the heck is wrong with it!?!?


Is the anti-theft system malfunctioning? Is it the summer heat? (Problem only occours in the summer.) Is it an issue that anyone has had before in a navigator? The battery isn't bad, and the connection terminals on the wires were replaced a few weeks ago. The car is perfectly healty otherwise. Even a theory as to what is wrong would be greatly appreciated!

TIA. -Harrison
