Hi All,

Looking for some help/insight before I tow her to the dealership. Seems like an electrical issue where the power is not going from the battery to the rest of the car. Metered the battery and it shows 12.4V. I've read that 'good' battery will read around 12V.

Everything was running fine the day before. Never struggled to start or showed signs that the battery is dying.

Outside temp overnight was around 10C/50F and rained.
Turn key in first position and the dash lights come on as usual and key chime comes on. As soon as I turn the key dash lights turn off then on right away.
I can only make out something that sounds like a relay. No cranking or turning over. It also says on the MFD, "Please put lever into P/N" which it's in park already.

Radio does not work. Keyless entry does not work. If I manually lock the doors, only the fronts lock. Didn't want to test the windows in case I can't roll them back up.

Is there anything that I can check? Not even sure where to start looking.
