That way the car shuts off completely, until I have to start it and put it back in the garage. Hope that this helps you some.

Hi Eric!
Phil had mentioned something along these lines earlier, and I had never thought about it. However, I've always washed my car with the key nearby or in it, and it's never happened except for these last two times. That makes me wonder if the battery is getting weak or water is somehow getting to it. As soon as I get my car back from the stereo shop, I will look for signs of water. Thanks!
