So I let the car sit for a couple days put a new fuse in and it didn't blow turning the key on. Didn't start it tho cause battery is dead. But does that make any sense

I had it running for about an hour then drove it around the block for about 10 min. Everything seems to be working now. I don't get it

Would a bad ground cause this to happen someone told me to splice into the ground wire on the harness and run a ground wire to the body. Does that make sense to u
