Default weird issue, please read....

this morning, i went to start my car and as i turned the key, it beeped quickly and the lights flashed, then dead. it wouldn't turn, no clicks, no nothing. it wouldn't even give me power to things that would have power when the car is on. I couldn't open windows, or run fans, or turn on radio. Do you think it's my ignition switch?
the 'weirder' part is that I eventually got it started, but it was like i disconnected the battery, my time was reset, as well as my A/C temperatures. Any ideas?
Cheers!

Default First thing that came to mind was battery post corrosion, but you probably take good care ....

of your car, so that's probably not it.

That said, Ignition Switch is a possibility. I think the "constant on" that maintains clock, radio, memory, etc runs through the ignition switch.
