    I assumed the same so I replaced it with an expensive battery, still same results. The terminals are still factory shiny new and so are all the grounds. Battery voltage was tested and was fine, attempted to jump it and no dice either. Then the next day, randomly started.

    Unplug and reinsert the two fuses surrounded by the yellow plastic block in the passenger compartment fuse block. If the connection is loose, it will act intermittently with no start issues.
