Car will not start
So I am trying to leave the gym, unlock car, press break, push button... all lights on dash come up, all sort of chirps from the dashboard start, but car won't.
Break pedal is now quite hard to push in, no response to the fob, can't lock it, open trunk, radio won't turn on. Just all lights on the dash.
Help.

I was leaning towards battery is good but have you tried jumping it. Also are you getting any clicking etc... There are typically a few basic cases why a car won't start. Is it cranking at least, starting and then going out, just not turning over, etc...
My last car would only start if I turned the car off at a good point. If I didn't it would take me forever to get it running again.

There were no clicks. I disconnected the battery, waited a few minutes and reconnected it. Immediately went haywire again. Checked voltage with voltmeter, good 13v at battery. Had it towed to dealer, just before they closed. Seems to be an ECU malfunction of some sort. More later this week.

It is good to know someone at the dealership... they have started working on it bright and early.
They have tried to jump start it and nothing...
Disconnecting the battery seems to have done the trick... a quick "reset" of all electrical systems, if you will. They will perform some diagnostics as the day goes by.
So far the dealer reports that they cannot open the gas door. Maybe there is a short there and it is causing all sorts of havoc on the electrical system. More as it develops.

In the end, it was a short on the "fuel lid door actuator" that in turn sent the BCM crazy. They need to reprogram the BCM and FOBs (tomorrow), order the actuator (all the way from Japan), and I should have the car good to go before mine and my wife anniversary trip this weekend. $100 deductible, rental car covered, still $367.34 out of pocket. Not bad for an electrical part.
