Ok so recently, I noticed that when I have the radio and the fan running with the car off, everything will shut off after a few mintues and the car wont start...then if I come back in an hour, the car starts fine (if a little weak). Then the other night, I was listening to the radio while charging my phone and I turned the parking lights on so that the mirror would light up and the radio went off...but once the lights were on, the radio would come back on. The battery is about 3 years old and the starter was changed a little over a year ago...the car starts kind of slow every day...its not a quick startup like I would expect. Any ideas what I need to change?

 

maybe the battery.... the alternator.... get a volt check. or whatever it is called

 

sounds like an alternator issue.
