[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 125045, member: 7474"] You should load test the battery. Just because you have voltage doesn’t mean that you have enough cold cranking amps to start the machine. Most auto parts stores will do this test for free. Just keep in mind that it is warmer inside where they test the battery, this will give you a better reading then outside in the cold. Your battery may have enough power at first but when you try to power the starter it depletes it. This may make the computer think that the power has been turned off and thus turns off the panels. By turning the key off and then back on, the computer resets to start the machine again. You could have a bad relay. Try swapping your relays to check. But my money is on a weak battery. Have you tried to jump start it? Make sure you use the proper jump start procedure for your machine. [/QUOTE]
