Alright so I have a 2010 ford focus s. Started having this problem maybe a month or two ago.
Sometimes my ride starts up like normal and somedays I'll have to put the key in ignition and turn it till all my lights on my dash turns on and nothing. I'll take the key out and wait about 5 to 10 seconds before I try again and it starts like nothing.
I tried taking off the battery cables and cleaned the battery posts side they were kinda corroded. After doing that and connecting the battery again, still does it sometimes.
As of now it's still doing it, but the car starts eventually.
So I suppose my question is is it the starter or battery? Not sure where my starter is located but maybe it's that? My battery is about a year and a half old, so I don't think it's that.
