The bigger question is why did the car just quit while I was driving it. All systems were normal until they weren't. No fault codes, no dash lights, just the car coasting to a stop. Hopefully the dealer will shed some light on Monday.
I have had the fuel pump fail while driving. It was a graceful coast to a stop. Subsequent attempts at starting would turn the starter over with no possibility of the engine lighting up. The dealer burnt out my starter trying (yes, I had to pay for both).

First pass from dealer: Damage to the wiring harness, something has been chewing. How they track that down I have no idea. $1193 to repair and THEN we test. Here we go....
