What happened immediately before this problem manifested?

Have you checked the key cylinder switch?

IIRC; there is at least 1 "IGN" relay.

Okay.
So, everything is fine when you parked the car; then the next morning nothing? Did anything happen to the car between "works fine" and "nothing"?

I am trying to help, but prying information out is boring.

Have you checked the battery condition to ensure it has a full charge and is capable of more than just supplying voltage? If it was 12 volts that was measured with a volt meter - you need to charge it or get a new battery. 12 volts is too low - it should be reading 13v+, and have the amperage to go with it.

Hey ,

Moderators like donbrew and whopper are fantastic resources for you to use and have helped countless HHR owners, but if you'd like us to get in touch with your local Chevy dealership regarding this, we'd be happy to do that. Just PM us with your VIN, mileage, dealership, and contact information. We'll have your dealer contact you!

Otherwise, welcome to the forums! You're going to enjoy the group of people here.

Well, then it's broke!

I can offer no further advice, beyond "Find a mechanic".

At least, that's what my wife's sister's stepson said.

I'm tired of pulling teeth, now.

Check for loose ground wires and loose fuse box halves, get the battery load tested it could be time for a new battery

- typically when people come here with third-party cars and third-party info, not much good info or advice can be given, as they too often result in a game of 20 questions. So follow up on the advice given so far, and get back with the results.

and it's pretty common knowledge that using your email address as a member name, or posting it openly on the web is an open invite to spam emails, which can render your email address useless. If you wish to change your member name, you can contact 843de (the Admin dude).
