    Drove my car to carwash and back home, got in my car and it will not start, keyfob light works but doors dont unlock, no response on dash, 12v battery tested good, can't connect via obd port no response, what should i check, looked at fuses they all look good, door lock buttons work on doors, headlights, domelights work. radio center console has no power.

    sounds like water infiltration, check all the fuses. what does '12v tested good' mean exactly

    Have you tried placing the fob next to the power button (the procedure to start when fob battery is dead)?

    What sort of car wash, a pull-through car wash, stationary-and-the-equipment-moves car wash, or just a-bunch-of washers-swarm-the-car car wash?

    Was the interior "detailed" as well?

    If pull-through style car wash, did you have any warning on the dash, anything about low hybrid battery?

    It was a pull through car wash, interior was not detailed no warning lights, if i put key next to start button no dashboard lights come on.
