Default car wont start in morning

So the last few nights/mornings have been very humid to the point where when i go out side my car has dew on it...no problem however when i go to start the car nothing..my battery is fine...i am 100% sure thats not the problem. if i try it several times or just let it sit and try later..sometimes it will start. When i get it to start it will start the rest of the day...i am soo confused...it happened to me 3 days in a row...and today wasnt so humid and it started rite up. So it has to be something electrical im just not sure what it is...any thoughts?

You know, the easiest fix would be to start it in the afternoon instead!
I just had to....it's Friday!
OK, it could be bad spark plug wires. Bad wires can leak and short out to the block, heads, or to each other. And moisture in the air is a better conductor.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh...when you said "nothing", you really did mean nothing didn't you!!!
Have you checked your battery connections, and the wire connections at the starter for corrosion?
Does your security light go on when that happens?

The next time it happens try to see if the dash lights go out when your in the crank position. That could happen if your starter is failing and drawing alot of amperage to try any engage. Have you lost any memory, like radio presets, clock?
