last nite drove car on empty. got home, sat in car for about an hour with key in accessory postion so i could talk on cell with out phone dying. all of a sudden all power shut off to car. turned key to off position, then to accessory and power came back up. then just to be sure car would start, tried to start car. car will not start. does not crank, only clicks 3 or 4 times then nothing. all power continues to accessories. went and got 2 gallons of gas, for was thinking perhaps out of gas and this is why wouldnt start. still nothing. do i just not have enough gas in it to turn it over? could i have really ran the battery down just by sitting in it with accessory position on, phone plugged in, and radio on? i dont think its the theft detterent feature, i had problems with that last yr and replaced module. and it doesnt act the same as that time, as i can remove key. thanks for your time, sorry so long of description.
