Hmm... I am just trying to think of reasons / ways you could hose the car environment at the boot level and still run outside the sled. Other than the car wiring or hardware issue, that is...

What kind of symptoms would you see that would give you the standby light without allowing a boot? Since the standby light is software controlled (if I remember correctly), you would have to have some kernel there...

I don't suppose that there is a laptop available to hook up to the serial while in the sled and watch a boot log? Also, have you run any diagnostics while out of sled?
