'06 H2 Won't Start After Accidental Panic Button Press

[MapsGuy]

I've owned a 2006 H2 for a couple of months and love it. Earlier today the panic button on the key fob got pushed in my pocket, and of course the lights started flashing and the horn started sounding. When I pushed it again, the horn and lights stopped. I jumped in it to get on my way and it wouldn't start. All the lights and dash indicators come on as normal, but the only things that happens when I turn the key is the headlights go out, but nothing else, no solenoid noise. I've searched through the owner's manual, the forum and online and can't figure it out. It's only got 14,600 miles on it and it's been running fine ever since I got it in January, so I assume it must be some idiot lockout (and apparently seems to be working as designed). I'd like to take in the morning, but will take my other car tomorrow and call the nearest dealer (98 miles distant) if I can't figure it out tonight.

Thanks,

i hit that damn button all the time on accident in my 04 and I never have had it not immediately start directly after.

Does the dash say security when this happens?

[MapsGuy]

Not that I can tell.

[MapsGuy]

Never mind!

Even though I was sure it was the locking system due to the key fob incident, I put the battery charger on it this morning. After a few hours, it cranked normally. I didn't realize the battery could be in a state to run the lights and dash stuff at what appeared to be normal brightness, but not even try to crank.

Sorry for the false alarm.

If your still under warranty, bring to the dealer and advise them the battery is dying on you. If they test and is bad they should cover under the warranty. I just had mine replaced....

OUTSTANDING. I was just planning to get a new battery. I'll make a trip to the dealership and see if they'll replace it.

Thanks!!!
