Default Help....car will not shut off

Hope someone can help with this....The past 2 weeks my '93 coupe, automatic trans., won't start on first try....thought it was a bad starter but on the second try it starts. Sometimes it starts on first try...Yesterday it did it again. Nothing on the first try and then ok on the second but this time it was running with a"whiny" sound. Backed the car out of the garage, shut it off....it wouldn't shut off! After 5 minutes it shut down itself. Now I have no power at all....nothing. No interior lights, no nothing.....no click, nothing.

sounds like your starter stayed engaged...and somehow drained the battery too?

Test the battery and trickle charge it...See if that brings any type of power back.
