Default intermittent no start- 960

Symptoms:

Car is locked, open with key but only driver's door opens. Open door, no dome or interior lights. Key in ignition, nothing. Like the battery is 100% dead. (It's one month old...)

Get out, close door. Try and lock with fob, nothing. Open door again, get in, mess with fob, eventually alarm goes off. Get out, lock with fob, unlock door with key, this time all doors unlock as they should. Dome lights are now on, and car will start. Only happens randomly. Radio needs code re-set.

Today, I go out to the car and open the driver's door (not locked) and no dome lights. 15-20 seconds later, lights go on. Open passenger door, alarm goes off. Get alarm stopped, car starts fine.

Only other issue I have had is with the PnP switch. Threw codes initially, did the "rapid shift" cleaning method, code went away, and no codes since.

Any thoughts?

Cleaning the terminals seems to have fixed it, although there was VERY little corrosion on the negative terminal only.......

But, haven't had the issue for a couple weeks now, so thanks, Tech.
