Default Cammy wouldn't start - fixed

So as I was leaving work today I got in Cammy turned the key, engine cranked, turned over, and died..! I'm like ZOMG wtf - put the key back in nothing - no lights or anything..! Kept trying that 1 time lights came on but as soon as I turned the key it died again - after that absolutely no response outta her.

My key is in BAD shape so I assumed the chip was damaged - I had her towed to a shop where apparently they sprayed something into her key hole(the guy says its this stuff they make in germany) and she fired up after that but my lights were still all out. Some quick checking and I guess my battery cable had come loose. I feel kinda dumb for not just tightening those first and trying to crank her, but I was thinking this was gonna be an expensive repair and am happy it was nothing major - they scanned her too said theres no codes coming up on her.

Just thought I'd share.

Glad you had an easy fix. Kinda surprised that the mechanic didn't find the cable issue but hey, I guess if it had power when he tried it, it was not a concern.
