Did You Disable SLU? No - none of the suggested remedies worked
Downtime (how long without car)? 2 weeks.
Notes: I brought the car in for the same problem while under warranty 10 months prior, but because the vehicle started up eventually, the dealer claimed it was "poorly attached battery cables", i.e. my fault. Upon bringing the vehicle in this time (out of warranty), the dealer immediately identified it as the SLU.
