my 99 did this once with the whole anti theft lock down (mine also didnt start tho)
long story short the CAS(m535) under the drivers seat had gotten a tiny amount of water from a clogged drain. If you just got it out of winter storage, id assume you washed your baby so that water could have been enough to short the system. Id recommend that you pull the seat up, pull out the m535 box take it out make sure all connections look good let it dry out or hit it with hard core Alcohol to aid in drying it, reconnect it, use silicon to seal up the box. and HOPEFULLY it works. I also advise using di-electric grease on all the connections to help keep them in tip tip shape, but i am a wee bit ocd lol

I'm pretty sure its a relay or a fuse. I was on the last leg of a 1800 mile road trip. No issues prior to this happening. The passenger side window has gone up/down a lot slower then the driver side since the day I bought it. Anyway, we got in the car and suddenly the window would only move about 3" in either direction before stopping. Did that a few times and suddenly nothing else would move. Any ideas guys?

I don't want to get to focused on any one idea and end up chasing my tail but its very likely a anti theft relay. Just based on the fact that it locked the trunks and gas door...

However, with that said, what fuses/relays are likely candidates to check? Where can I start with troubleshooting this thing?
