    Okay,I live in New Mexico it is currently a Tuesday night and is 16 degrees. I have a 2005 Toyota Prius and it won't start.l I went to go warm it up so I could get ready to leave the house,I grabbed my keys and it beeped once I put my foot on the brake and pushed the start button all my lights went on and after that pretty much froze and I could not turn the car off nor shift to reverse or drive. It snowed Sunday I did not drive my car Monday. Is it possible my battery froze or something else did? Is it possible my battery is drained/dead?? HELP!!!!!!

    Have you ever changed the 12v battery? It sounds like that could be the culprit.
