Now, if it wont power up and I open the hood and jiggle the positive terminal, I hear a click and the car gets power again. Clock resets to 1:00 and I can start the car again.
Battery is new. I do have a pedal commander and a hardwired radar detector but I don’t see how they’re causing anything.

Hi petron,
At first glance of your description of the trouble, I looks like one of the
POS power lines are loose e.g., Battery POS terminal, or the other-end at the Alternator output cable/term, or at the
Main fuse box under the hood; either the feed near the master cylinder, or coming out twds the battery... so there're four connections that could potentially be loose!
I would check those
FIRST because just by you touching the POS cable, the trouble goes away; which involves all connection points that I've mentioned! If you check those 4 points and find nothing unusual, Next we pull the
Push-Button Start trim panel out to examine the connections, and test the switch...
...no need for alarm, it just snaps out, IIRC, it's a part of the "Party-mode" button trim panel... I've had that out before, and it's no biggy! Be sure to come back and let us know what you find out after analysis! ...and thanks
