Define no start. Turn key on and no power to anything? Clicking but no crank when turning key to start? Power at key on but turn to start and no clicking? Or cranks and cranks and doesn't start?

Did you try jumping it? If so, what happened?
No I had no way of doing that, all I have to do is pull the positive cable off of the battery for a few seconds and then reconnect and it fine for who knows how long, when I go on vacation it’s gonna go to the other shop here in town and they are gonna have it for a week

Nothing on the Tech2? No parasitic drains, codes, battery health ok? I don't remember, did you replace the cables?

Do you actually have to remove the cable? Can you just wiggle/pull on it some to get it to start?

Yes I replaced the cables, battery is ok test a different battery in it and still same problem,cables are brand new, I checked the transmission 16 bin connector as stated in the recall/ service bulletin. Of course I didn’t have a multi-meter to test the lan lines
