Default Starting Problems 1999 RX300

I have a 1999 RX300 that is intermittently acting like the battery is dead. The starter clicks and the clock goes back to 1:00 am.I try it again right after it happens and it starts right up. Battery and alternator check out good.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Kirk

I would suggest asking in the RX300 forum.

You've probably already checked, but make sure the connections to the battery terminals are clean and tight.
