G6 service traction, won't start?
Have a 2008 Pontiac G6, never any problems. Was cleaning it tonight with the radio, lights on. Went to turn on the car and it won't start. The electronics went nuts, lit up, off, reset the clock, etc. The car won't "turn over" at all when I try to start it, some dash icons/lights go on. And every couple turns of the key I get the Service Traction message. Will call mechanic tomorrow am...but any ideas now? So weird!

Just going by what you said it sounds like the battery is going bad.
Did you clean the engine bay by any chance?
