    You sure you came home in the right car? Ok, start from scratch. What has power/works, and what doesnt work? Do the headlights work? do the ignition lights come on? does the starter motor try to engage? Need more details.

    It still could be the battery. It can have enough power for some things but not enough to turn it over. Old bloke next door went for a drive in his VX calais, pulled up for lunch then went to start it; nothing. Had to get NRMA battery van. They put in a new battery and all OK.

    check if it can be jump started. then check engine codes. could be computer that controls central locking or just the dum ass key - i know it sounds dum but their is even an error code for it lol. KEY NOT MAKING CONTACT
