Well it's been awhile since my original post and the car still acts up every once in awhile.

I just replaced the starter and thought all was well but the car acted up on me again this morning. Once again disconnecting the negative terminal and hooking it back up after a few minutes cleared the problem right up. I am about fed up with my Alero and may get rid of it unless I can figure this issue out. Battery is only 3.5 years old.

When it acts up the engine doesn't crank. No relay noise or solenoid or anything. The blower motor slows down when I go to crank and the instrument cluster goes dark but no action from the starter. So something is drawing power but starter not working. At this point I am up for any ideas. I wish it would act up when I had time to really look at it. Oh and last year I replaced both the ignition switch and the lock cylinder.
