After a couple junction box replacements still nothing, climate control unit and still nothing, so next was the fuse panel! They replaced the entire fuse panel behind the glove box and it worked. I believe while working on the car for the week the battery was kept on a charger and when I picked it up ($5,500 later that CPO covered) everything worked great, six months later I took it back for rear defogger not working again and only then they said it was the battery shutting down since it was weak, $375 later everything has been good since.
Did it start better though ? lol
