Yes, it happens a lot, if the battery voltage drops too much. It did when I was looking at a Mystique I bought, and my old Dodge Lancer did that too. Hook it up to a battery charger till it says full charge, then start/run 20 minutes or so, so it can recharge. Check voltage, should be 14 volts or so, engine running. My battery got weak in cold weather and I needed a new one Motorcraft BXT40R.
