Thumbs down Dead in driveway

Backing my otherwise well maintained '08 HSE out the garage yesterday I was greeted by every dash light imaginable, then a suspension fault, special programs off, then transmission fault. I turned the key to off and that was it. Now, turning the key does nothing, the dome lights don't even come on, the key FOBs are inoperable, etc.

I tried the "hard reset", which as I understand it requires touching the battery cables together for 2 minutes, but that did nothing.

Any thoughts before I call a tow truck? I don't own an IID Tool so I can't pull any codes.

Thanks in advance.

They are classic signs of a failing alternator.

Yep low voltage and an LR3 = Don't get along. I replaced the Alternator & Battery when I first bought my LR3. Been fault free pretty much ever since minus a faulty height sensor.
