It's been at the dealership since Thursday. They are still looking into it...
Last update I got, they were checking the computer connections...

fortunately the ordeal was just an inconvenience, towing was free, and i only had to pay $100 diagnostic fee (even though it took them several hours of eliminating the more typical no-start reasons before hooking up the tipm wiring harness to a scanner type device to determine what was getting power) and $0.90 for a new fuse :p

thx everyone for reading along and offering advice. turns out I was an idiot, and txjeeplover got it right.
