charge the battery.... or get a new one (get your old tested before you do obviously or you can meter it to see how much voltage it has with a volt meter should have at least 12vdc..)

I understand that my battery is probably gone... But wouldn't it jump off if it did the night before? I have no response no clicking sound or light it like it not getting signal like key is not even there

So my question to the forum if the battery fuse blow could I still jump off the car?

as crazy as it sounds, my sc300 did the same. I warmed it up and put a little more royal purple in and drove it around the block. Parked it and then a few hrs later it wouldn't recognize any power at all. Not even the key.

I took my new interstate battery to recharge in case it was that, they said it was a good battery with full potential. im stuck. Maybe ECU? idk what do you guys think?

Exactly tomorrow I'm gonna swap the bad ecu back in and see if it fire over or at less recongnize the key cause before I park her she started but with a trail of smoke....

If your battery is bad, it will lose the charge over night very easy. I had a bad battery and it died within an hour of parking it. Try and jump it again, if the car runs fine, i'd say it is your battery.

Let us know how that works out. I doubt its the battery because you say its complete dead and gets power nowhere at all but its possible. if it works out for you, im buying another ecu for mine

I've had one of the terminals go a little loose on me a few times and I would get absolutely no power to anything.
