Default My car went dead and I can't get it out of park

So I go to my garage this morning to pul out my 04 Range Rover and see that the car is completely dead. No warning, the battery isn't old, it just stopped working. Now, the front of my garage is very low which doesn't allow me to open up the hood. I can't put the car in neutral since there's no power, I can't even turn the key in the ignition.

The small light next to the park indicator by the shifter blinks, but no electronics work (doorlocks, alarm, radio, headlights).

What the hell am I supposed to do now? I called a local dealer but none of the service reps are answering phones so I'm waiting for a call from them.

Call the dealer if you are under warranty, let them tow it for you.

Did you leave something switched on? or was a sensor being continually activated & it drained the battery?
-Could try applying a small amp battery charge through your cigarette lighter socket for amonitored period of time, see if it kicks the electronics back into action sufficiently - depends how it is wired though. - this method has saved my being strandeda couple of times before now.

Good Luck

Love to know what was done to sort it out when you have done so!
