Thanks again to you both. Wanted to try and clarify a couple of things to see if it helps. 1) the car is with a specialty Lexus/Toyota repair shop, with Lexus Master Certified technicians and they are using the Toyota Techstream scanner. At this point, I wish I would have gone straight to the dealership, but this shop has always worked on this car, and they felt like a responsible choice at the time. 2) They tell me they have checked all fuses and relay's, and the key. 3) They can't get any codes from the scanner. It basically doesn't see the ignition/fuel injection computers at all. Couple of follow up questions. What is an original "OBD" cable and how can I tell them to make sure to use that? If that doesn't work, where do I find an actual car electrician? Thank you again for all of your help and support.

The repair shop isn't the actual dealer, but they are a speciality import shop and say they have an identical code scanner. Some of the computer in the car are working and they can read them. The ignition and fuel injections ones just aren't "talking" to the scanners at all. Thank you so much for you response.

All -Thank you in advance for any help/guidance. I have a 2006 Lexus GX 470, that I drove through a street with about 2.5ft of ater the other day (there was no other option due to an crazy high tide coming up in downtown Charleston, SC). This happened about a month ago. Afterwards I made it 500 yards and the car just powered off. While I was calling the tow truck (within 20 minutes), I was able to get it to crank back up. I drove it the next three weeks through Christmas without any issues. On Christmas I parked it and we drove our other car out of town. When I got back, it cranked for maybe 15 seconds, then died, and hasn't cranked since. When I say it won't crank, all of the interior power and lights come on, but when you turn the key nothing happens. No clicking or anything such as a bad starter would cause. I have taken it to the repair shop and they can't find the issue, and they tell me their scanner won't talk to my ignition, fuel injection, and I think emissions computer. They can talk to the ABS computer. Any ideas on what we should be looking for? I am terrified I am being taken by the hour right now and the service manager doesn't sound all that confident.
