[QUOTE=natecooper]This happened to me too. For me it was the electronics control unit underneath the drivers seat, it had gotten wet and failed. Check behind and underneath the drivers seat for wet spots. Hopefully this is not the case as it is around 1000 bucks when all is said and done.[/QUOTE

I had the car looked at and it turns out that Natecooper was correct (kind of). It turns out the immobilizer box under the drivers seat ( I think we're talking about the same box) had a blown fuse. Seat had to be removed for the fuse to be replaced. Cost me 80 bucks to repair. I'm back on the road and if this happens again I'll save $80 and buy a fuse. I wonder if this had anything to do with going to the hand carwash? I didn't feel any wet spots under the seat and there's no indication of a leak anywhere..... I'll be washing the car myself from here on out.

Thanks for the advice,
Jacques
