Car won't start

When I turn the key I hear nothing. It's like the car is just dead. The interior light still turns on when I open the door and the headlights still work just fine as do the automatic locks. No lights come up on the dashboard when I put the key in the run or start position. The car ran fine the night before. This problem started today when I was leaving for work. It's going into the dealership tomorrow, but I don't know what to tell them about my pcm. Since it has a custom tune I don't want them to reflash it as I will lose my tune if they do. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do about this, and does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem with the car might be?

Turn you key to the run position for I think 15 minutes to reset the computer, you wount lose your flash then try to start the car. Find a car charger just incase your batterie runs out but it shouldn't.

Just an update: I had my car towed to the dealership and they ended up finding the ignition switch completely unplugged. The tech asked me over the phone if someone had been messing with my car because he said he found wires that were "jerry-rigged" up to the ignition switch. The last time my car was worked with was when I went to get dynotuned and the time before that was when I had my stage 4 kit installed at Intense Racing. I had been driving the car for quite a while before the problem occurred. The dealership plugged the ignition switch back in and now the car starts just fine.
