Venza ignition issue?

2011 Venza. Runs great; battery is just a few months old. Everything worked as normal yesterday.

Went to start it this morning, and it was dead... No electric whatsoever, like it had no battery. Tried several times, no change. I then tried it 15 minutes later, and it fired up perfectly. Now, the clock had restarted with the incorrect time, which means that the power had been off for a period. Has been doing fine so far since.

Any insights? Is a relay going out?

Thanks, Mark

I would check the battery connections, especially the ground.
I should have been a little more specific. The cable itself should be checked carefully, I have seen corrosion get wicked into the strands of the cable and cause problems.
