Car died while driving and wont start but goes into on ignition

Hi guys,

On the way back from the store when I turned into my block the car just completely shut off. Lost all power steering and breaking and the ignition was still in the on position, lights and radio still on but engine shut off and wouldn’t start back up. When I press in the clutch and push to start button it turns everything on except the engine doesn’t start. It goes from off to acc to on and then nothing. Starter doesn’t even trigger. It isnt the steering lock since i already did the fuse removal. Also the yellow key sign is lit up the moment i sit down in the car and blinks once and stays lit when i try to start it. Tried using my spare key and getting a new battery for it with no luck. Any suggestions what to try next?

Thanks guys!

The alternator should not affect starting.

Did you shove the key in the fobgina and try to start it?

(Un)intellikey sensor might have failed.

Like JAR said, try the fobgina.

But gently, like a virgin.

Get an OBD tool and see if any DTCs have been thrown.

Tried the fobgina and that wasnt it. Found a blown fuse (eng cont fuse) there was moisture on the power distribution unit but not sure if that is what caused the blown fuse. Car starts up and runs fine now but get a warning when i try to enable sport mode by the shifter. Could it be another blown fuse that i missed somewhere?
