Let's face it, if I or you had a 2005 with this horrible problem you'd have to agree it'd be a major PITA.
I sincerely feel for those saddled with this while trying to enjoy an otherwise beautiful, world class automobile.
Let's be happy (& hope
) we'll never know the joys of being stranded by our new world class sportscar, shall we?

The outside lights of the car are still on, however the car will not go into accessory mode or regular driving mode. The windows are not indexing, and i hear a slight ticking sound on the outside of the car.
The inside still has some lights on, so I am not sure if the battery is dead or what?
Someone please help quick before all lights go out!

Same thing happened to me..
after I have hooked up the trunk-mounted GM 6-disc changer and all of a sudden the car's power goes out and the clicking sound is heard. Jumpstarted the thing and it's been working fine ever since. Battery seems fine as well; I keep it hooked up to a battery tender.
