Default Really needing help on this one!

Alright, It has been raining here non stop for days. I went to work last night just fine. After I got off I unlocked the car with the key-less entry, got in, and started the car.

Except it did not turn over.

Here is a list of everything that happens.

headlights come on as usual, all the dash light and stereo light illuminate, stereo DOES NOT FUNCTION, red light blinks normally, on my dash it alternates between Service Vehicle Soon, Low Fuel, and Security. My check engine light is on, and the airbag light. Usually my gauges turn all the way to the right and back when I put my key in the on position, but now they raise up a little and drop back down... My car says I have like negative 2 gallons past the E mark, I filled up last night. and my boost gauge lays right at zero.............


Any help? Would water have tripped something?

EDIT: It is NOT the battery.... It is fully charged and even tried to jump it.

you park it outside? it could have been struck by lightning, messing up the gauge cluster and some other components.

I would think it's passlock, you can try some security relearns, just search the forum for passlock issues

Just some info.

If the battery shorted it will appear to be fine. Till you try to start the car.

Headlights will look normal. But try to start the car and you will get nothing.

But with the battery being shorted would it throw up all those other problems?

it could have sent a shock to everything else making them act goofy, correct me if im wrong guys, but could unplugging the pcm for an hour or two and then plugging it back in help him out? just as a relearn process? i really dont know how to do a relearn with something thats already connected with the car
