I parked somewhere turned car off, then I tried to turn on my dome light, I then realize it was dead again.. As I walked out trying to get a parking ticket. My car worked again, battery came back which is just ******* wierd
First problem: You went to AutoZone.....

After you do what SouthArk said to do (clean terminals), did you ever answer the question of how old the battery is? If it is over 2 years old, I don't care that AutoZone said it was okay, replace it. You are on borrowed time. Is the car MT or AT? If it is AT, try putting the selector in "N", if the car starts, you have a bad selector switch on the trans. If the car is MT, then you might have a bad clutch safety switch. The FSM in SouthArk's signature, along with a good multimeter, will help tremendously.
