I hit my key fob trunk release and the trunk popped open. I put stuff in the trunk and closed the trunk lid. Hit the door unlock on key fob and nothing happened. Had to unlock door with the key. Put key in ignition and turned to start. Nothing happened and nothing electrical was working. I thought a dead battery but checked and the charge is up to start and operate electrics.
Tried to take the key out of ignition and nope that wasn't happening either. Couldn't get the shifter out of park either, the button wouldn't push in. Everything acts like the battery has been removed.
I found on this forum how to remove the key and I did get it out. The electrical malfunction even had locked the key in the switch.
I opened the hood and removed the relay/fuse box cover and I heard a very slight tic tic tic sound. When I removed the PWR/TRN relay the ticking would stop. Put relay back in and the ticking was there again. I disconnected the negative battery cable and reconnected it. The ticking stopped even with the relay installed. But nothing electrical is working. NOTHING! Just like a disconnected battery.
I need help trouble shooting steps to fix this problem. What fuses or relays to check and where are they located? Would the antitheft system cause a total shut down like this? The car is facing into the carport so I can't even roll it out because I can't get the car out of park. I also don't want to pay the ripoff dealer charges while they possibly have a rookie learning on my dollars. I am retired so I don't have big bucks to spare to be paying a dealer $120 an hour.
I love the internet even if Al Gore says he invented it. LOL
Thanks for the help.
