Help...Car Won't Start
My bf's car has trouble starting once in a while (maybe about once in a few weeks). It seems to happen after it rains or after a wash, but it's not 100% either.
Before starting, the lights, windshield wipers, and radio all work. Basically, when you turn the key, it won't make any noise. If you jumpstart it with a car, it'll start (but not with a portable jumpstart pack). But the battery, starter, and main relay are all new. I was wondering if it could be the starter since it was purchased from NAPA and they used rebuilt parts. We also read that it could be a bad ignition switch, but I thought that if it's able to be jumpstarted, the ignition switch would be okay.
What might be causing this?
