As dumb as this sounds, check your battery.

electrical gremlins! Honestly I had some problems like this and it was a short in one of the wires. You could spend lots of time and money trying to fix this yourself by replacing things that are not even the problem (I know from experience). My recommendation is to take it to a good dealer and have them check it out. They figured out the problem with mine in less than an hour

I think it could have something to do with my remote starter playing games........I disabled it today..........If it doesnt fix the problem i'll go to the dealership.............
