I have none, no lights, radio, windows or door locks . No flashing intelligent key sign either. Completely dead .

Will try jumping it in the morning. Was running fine all day and the voltmeter had a high reading .
That's not an ESCL/SLU problem. The dash lights will work but the ignition will not go to ACC or ON if it's the steering lock. Sounds like a battery problem or parasitic drain.

I will get the battery checked out today.

After beating the crap out of the steering wheel last night, I went out this morning to try to jump it if it was a battery issue. Prior to jumping it, I tried to start it one last time and it started like nothing happened...the clock and radio reset though.

Drove it around for a while, pulled into the garage and yanked the SLU fuse to be safe.

Has started and been fine since, will still get battery check for peace of mind.

Thanks!
