uhoh.
Car troubles!
She seems to be having trouble detecting the key?? Have tried both keys now. It is kind of freaking out... so I have unplugged the 12V battery to let the computer completely reset?? Otherwise I might be SOL. Once I plug the battery back in I will see if the voltage is low and check it with the car scanner to see if any other messages are there. Might need a tow home!

This is a first!

I suspect the 12V battery is low/dead. We are on our 2nd battery in this car, and that was quite a few miles ago. Currently waiting for an assist with a car with some jumpers.
At least this happened within walking distance of home. But I feel bad for the door dash orders that got cancelled!

Got a boost with a Lithium booster pack and got me home. The car is currently on and I am monitoring the 12V battery with car scanner but I will have to get a new battery tomorrow

12V is now outputting 14V. Up from 13.3V just after the issues. So I definitely suspect it is weak. Maybe when it was in the shop it got drained somehow. Or maybe it was from earlier today when I had the trailer hooked up and the lights on. Maybe it was drawing power when the car was off, which has happened
