=Out of nowhere= , no start / instrument panel
Sorry for duplicate post; I probably should have posted here instead of general discussions.
The S2k was running great, I went on holiday for 3 weeks leaving my baby with a battery tender keeping her charge.
Upon my return, battery is strong, but when I turn the key I only get the beeping sounds... Instrument panel stays dark and start button does nothing.
Anyone know what might be amiss? Odd, no?
I can only think somehow the battery tender caused a fuse(s) to blow?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, starchland.
Battery appears healthy, 12.4 Volts.
Headlights shine brightly, fans work, windows work, hazard lights work.
Turn signals not working however, and as mentioned, no starter / instrumentation lighting (until headlights, when 'background' lighting only shows)
I have to think (hope) its a fuse?

ECU reset (d/c battery for 5 min) - no effect.
Unfortunately, I am not in the physical condition - nor do I have the knowledge - to work on fuses.
Looks like I have to tow it to a shop just to have someone look at them. DOH!

I dont know much about technical stuff re: cars, but I am pretty confident we can rule the battery out.
Ive looked at all of the fuse boxes and I have no idea which ones to check.
My luck, I can't find the owner manual.
Im in 95765, Rocklin - near Roseville, 30 min from Sacramento.
If anyone has the skills and wants to make some cash, I'll gladly pay $100 per hour work time + $35 per hour travel time (assuming you arent driving more than 3 hours!
) if you want to help a noob out and see if its just a fuse problem.
Maybe even better - I'll paypal some cash to anyone who can send me pictures of which fuses to check clearly marked.
Cheers-

I would start pulling the fuses one by one, and check it with a flash light...it will be clear If it is no good. The under dash ones might be hard to get it. When you trickle charged the battery was it disconnected from the car?

Maybe immobilizer unit issues?
