Most likely a dead battery. First thing to check is put a test light or a volt meter on the battery to see of there is any power at all. If there is none you need to determine what killed the battery. Aftermarket equipment left on ect. If it's not that your car is still under warranty, call Ford and let them deal with it.

I left mine in the garage for 8 days while I was out of state, came back and the battery was completely dead.. like the little key fob wouldnt even unlock the doors, I had to use the key. We put the battery on a trickle charger and it worked.. just popped it back in and no probs.

I had a dead battery after she sat for one week...started to turn off the radio after that rather than let it go off when the doors were opened and so far so good on the recharged battery. Still use the alarm every time I leave the car.

RE: Won' t come alive
That's interesting. I usually drive mine every two weeks or so and the battery hasn't gone dead. I have the optional alarm and Shaker 1000, too. But, I suppose the alarm isn't armed, though, because I usually leave the doors unlocked (it sits in the garage).
