This is seriously what I was talking about earlier. It's getting harder and harder to get a tow these days.

Did you see if the tow truck driver could jump you? They have more powerful jump boxes usually.

If you're close to me I'd come out there and swap batteries with you and take a look at it but I don't know where exactly you are.

Yes, it can actually be that dead that it still has problems jumping. If you let the other car run for a minute or two and it is running, IMO, it should at least crank with the other car connected.

Did you check the fuses in the fuse pod in the engine bay?

That's a tough one. Sounds like the starter is fried, but not sure exactly why it might have shut the car off too.

If it's turning over I don't think it's the starter.

No. That's a power related issue. Fuse. Bad ground. A short. ECU fried. Could be totally unrelated. Maybe the light bulb burned out.

That's a tricky one. I hate dealing with anything electrical.
