It may be the lens try a different lens at your nearest photography shop as the auto focus is usually a lens problem. other wise try resetting your cam remove all batts including the lithium one and the CF card wait about 20mins then replace if prob still persists then try again without any lens and see if it trys to focus and make sure the shutter is working if its ok so far then u need to try a new lens at local shop and then if it works the body is ok if not then it needs a service!

Talked to canon support, they suggested to send lense in for review/repair. They said it could be the motor, I think it was a gear problem based on the noises and jerkiness of the focusing action while in manual focus (manual focus gave out as well). Cost TBD - "would definately be more than $50. I shopped around and elected to buy a new lense rather than try to hassle with the repair, shipping, insurance, and the wait, etc. Besides, I have a deadline that I need the lense for, so repair at Canon really became a non-option. I think the cost would've been pretty much the same in the end as the new lense, since this wasn't one of the costlier of lenses to begin with.

Sounds like your camera and your lens aren't communicating. Have you tried cleaning the contacts on the camera and the lens mount?
SOURCE: CANON REBEL DIGITAL AUTO FOCUS STOPPED WORKING WHILE TAKING PICTURES
THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY CANNON REBEL.. IT SUDDENLY STOPPED AUTO FOCUS. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT SERVICE BUT I ASKED MY NEPHEW AND HE TOLD ME TO SIMPLY CLEAN THE CONTACT POINTS OF THE LENS TO THE CAMERA. DID IT AND BWALAH TO MY SUPRISED IT WORKED. AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
IT WORKS....

This may not be the same as your issue, but our AF stopped working as well. I tried all the recommended fixes - removing the card and battery, recharging the latter, removing the lens and cleaning the contacts, etc. None of those things worked. However, I then switched to MF, requiring me to turn the barrel, and I realized it was stuck and just needed a little force to get unstuck. Might have been the humidity. Anyway, our problem was solved - AF was back to normal after that.

but you want me to "tell you how I did it" for free. Hmmmmmm?
