The worst case of murphy's law ever! I'm supposed to be trading in my 2008 V6 in tomorrow for a sweet 2006 GT. I was returning a lot of parts back to stock myself in my garage tonight. I had a PA horn hooked up to my battery, and i unhooked the battery to remove the power wires for the horn. I reconnect the battery, and my alarm starts going off. The key fob wasn't disabling the alarm, so i quickly disconnected the horn to shut the damn thing up. The lights were still flashing for a while but then everything stopped. I try to start the car. Nothing. I'm guessing that my alarm set some sort of killswitch to the ignition. I tried reprogramming my keys according to the manual, but no luck

If anybody has seen or heard of this problem, I would greatly appreciate any feedback. My last hope is to go into Ford tomorrow and see if they can do anything before i have to trade my car in.

 

More info. Is it cranking? Domelight on and then dims a little or to nothing when you turn the key? Clicking noises? Or just plain dead?

 

i feel dumb. turns out the battery was dead. giving it a charge now. i shouldnt have listened to my car radio for 2 hours while working on the car >.<

 

hahahaha don't feel bad, you aren't the first one to do it...at least it wasnt something expensive or hard to figure out though

 

well everything turned out okay thankfully. got my car traded in and drove out with a 2006 GT =D!!! i stopped by my dads favorite resturant and took a pic with my new car and a couple cuervo girls :P

 

MMM. . . Cuervo girls FTW
