    Tow truck is here and we can’t figure out how to get the car in neutral - there is zero power (and tow truck tried jumping as well.) Not a single light and unable to get can in neutral for tow

    They're going to have to dolly it. All four wheels off the ground.

    If its only front wheel drive (not all wheel drive) it has to be towed with the front wheels lifted off the ground. The tow truck operator should know that.
