After putting inn a new starter, new battery, and battery fuse my car starts sometimes. I can start it and go somewhere and then go to leave and it won't start. A jump does start it.

Either your battery is not being charged sufficiently by the alternator or you have a "parasitic drain" on the battery. If the alternator belt is at proper tension and a charging test indicates that it is working, then you'll have to look for that parasitic drain which your battery sees as a light being left on all the time. Aftermarket car alarms, stereo systems, and charging electronic devices through the cigarette lighter or power port sockets are pretty common ways to drain down the battery. Google "how to find parasitic battery drain" for a step by step process.

I would have the think its the alternator. If a jump starts the car, maybe the alternator isnt charging the battery properly. If you can take it off, Auto Zone, and places like that will test for free. Also, start your car and put a volt meter on you battery. You should be makin 14ish volts (14.4). If its making less (like 12-13) id def say its the alternator. (make sure everything is off in your car when you take the volt reading. Heater,lights,stereo,headlights.... Everything)

This could be so many things. Bad battery connection, starter starting to go, fuel pump starting to go, relay/fuse broken. I would start with your battery and connections.

Double check your connections and replace the fuse. That sound usually indicates there is a short.

When I turn the key on my car the radio and inside lights come on

I had the same problem for about five months, sometimes the car started for two months than all of a sudden it make take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour to get it to turn over. Final analysis (when it finally would not start for two days) a new starter was needed. (2001 Cadillac STS)

Definitely sounds like a starter. When a bad starter is cold, it will start the car. After riding around for a while or after several starts in a row, the starter heats up and won't start without a boost. Since you've ruled out the battery and alternator, I'm positive a new starter will solve your problem. Good Luck!
