Default No start no idea

Ran out of gas in my Lexus 2000 gs300. While sitting in car. Cold night smoke out side started my xar to warm up. Long day so dozed off. Woke up about hour and a half later out of gas heater blowing cold car still in on position. Morning i put gas in and went to start car and nothing. Lights going on and off then screen went all white then black then nothing. Turn key off and pull key out the cd changer started going nuts. Switching cds like crazy. Then screens all went white then black thin nothing. Now i got no idea what what is wrong. Won't turn over, i do have gauges now but nothing when i start.
Up to this point I have had no problems what so ever. Other than rear view mirror came un glued - thats it !
ANY BODY GIT ANY IDEAS IM ALL EARS !!

CD changer will usually start cycling when the power to the car is restored. This makes me wonder if your battery is not too low. Is the engine cranking over and not starting or is it not even cranking over? I'd start with making sure your battery is good and charged.

It sounds like your battery is drained in addition to running out of gas. Make sure the battery is charged first then try the car.If you have no issues before then like I said it’s probably just a drain battery it might take a few tries to get to fuel through the system.
