Car cranked just fine this morning. Got where I needed to go but Sirius radio wasn't finding signal so I turned to FM, shut off car, opened the door to cut the radio, and started the car back to see if it found satellite signal. It worked so I shut the car off. Hit the key fob to lock it as I was walking away and it wouldn't lock. Went back to the car and the locks inside won't work, no dome lights, and car won't even start to try to turn over. All the power is dead. Battery just got replaced 8 months ago and didn't have any problems before hand. Side note: if I manually turn on the dome lights by clicking them on or on the blinker they work, but not when I open the door.

Start at the battery. Confirm that it is fully charged and that the battery terminals are clean and tight.

Let me know what you find.

Connectors are clean and battery is at full charge. Power mirrors and the dome lights seem to be the only thing working, but auto dome lights don't work when door opens. Something weird that I should mention. As I was leaving this morning I got a mile down the road and as I was pulling in to traffic all the indicator lights on the dash lit up at once for a split second.
