Whoops.

As I said, I've never done that before. Ever.

Anyway, in doing so, the engine disengaged entirely - it turned off. And NOW the vehicle won't start at all. Oh, I have power... I can lock the door and the automatic windows work, etc. And when I attempt to start it, I can see that normal icon we all see, that's asking me to put my foot on the pedal and press start... but it just doesn't start. Instead, about every light on the dashboard lights up. It doesn't even try to turn over. I do hear some kind of a HUM.

I tried disconnecting the battery for 20 or so seconds, thinking I would "reset" everything and in doing so, that would fix this. Alas, that didn't work.

This MUST be something simple. Any ideas?

As always, thanks in advance.
