I wasn't able to see the videos, but I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the battery. How old is your battery and when was it last changed?

Have you tested the rest voltage vs. voltage when the car is on? Voltage should not be anything under 12V cold and if it is, your battery is low on charge and may not be producing enough juice to start the car. When the car is on, the voltage should read 14V or higher.
