The weirdest thing about it being the battery is that it doesn’t make sense to me if it drained suddenly to be able to start up just by sitting tight overnight??
Also,this happening right after the wash doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me.
I will have the starter ground cable checked,since i could not locate it and give an update.I also checked some wiring that I could see around the fusebox in the front,and apart from some small leaves,they seemed to be intact.

I helped jump start an older vehicle two days ago that was stuck, unable to start, in a parking lot. Turned out to be a loose ground cable to the battery. Car started easily once we tightened the cable.
