Hey guys

So I started my nissan and drove it over to a friends house, maybe an hour later i went and tried to start it, turned the key and nothing happened, I just heard a slight buzzing or humming sound, so I checked otu the batter and the terminals and it looked good but i had the battery tested and it tests good, reinstalled it and still nothing, the key turns but nothing happens after that. I just tried it again like 30 minutes later and it started up no problem and has been since, anybody have any idea what this might be? I'm using a duplicate key that i had made at lowes, but for the past month it hasn't caused me any problems, if this could be an issue of not using the original cut nissan key I can go back to that, ive heard with my old grand am sometimes the keys get worn and the computer inside the car is thinking its a counterfeit key, im taking the car to have it looked at on monday but if you guys have any advice id love to hear it, thanks again

The buzz probably came from the relay box in the engine bay.I guess your alternator is on the way out.Have the voltage checked for the alternator.
