I popped the hood, hoping I could wiggle the battery connections for a quick fix, and saw a light flash on my IP. Seeing that, I got out, closed my hood, and the car started right up. Has anyone else had a similar experience and know of a potential remedy?
ABSOLUTELY !!!
I had then same problem and it turned out to be a very slightly loose connection on my positive battery terminal.
Remove both battery cable clamps and clean the posts and clamps and then reinstall them very tightly and hopefully your problem will be resol
ved.

I had a thread for this very same issue and it ended up being a slightly loose clamp.
I hope that's all it is for you
