H3 randomly won't start - pull battery & wait

[njhomer]

I have a problem with my H3 randomly not starting. The accessories come on and the engine cranks but it won't start. However, if you pull the battery, reconnect it and wait atleast 45 mins, the vehicle will start. This is occurred 3 times in the last month, always at the worst times. I call for roadside assitance, but by the time they arrive the truck starts.

I did some research and my problem is identical to the problems the Oldsmobile Alero had with the Passlock anti-theft system. The problem is very random and has only occurred 3 times in the last month. THe dealer has no way to reproduce the problem and won't spend any time troubleshooting the issue.

My dealer "Perrine Hummer in Cranberry, NJ" isn't being much help since they can't reproduce the problem. About 2 months ago my truck had the BCM changed while trying to solve a issue with the right rear tail light being stuck on and blowing fuses. That problem turned out to be a damaged wiring harness on the right side of the vehicle, a problem which appears to be caused when the truck was assembled. Strangely this took 40,000 miles to show up as a problem. IN the end the BCM didn't need to be changed and I am struggling with a faulty vehicle because of poor service.

Has anyone had a problem similar to this or have a suggestion on what the dealer should be checking?
