Default New battery, car won't start.

2004 mustang, 40th anniversary edition. Just put a new battery in, car turns over but won't start. I looked up it up on Google and all I've found was people talking about the fuel failsafe switch in the trunk. I checked it and that's not the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

This won't help you but I recently found out that the battery has to be tuned to the ECU in a BMW which means you have to go to a dealer to get it done. I hope Ford hasn't been that stupid.

How long was the battery out of the car? Perhaps the PATS system enabled itself.

Are you getting spark/fuel?

What caused you to replace the battery?

P.S. This Forum is for issues and problems about the forum itself. Either a Mod can move this to the right forum or repost your question in a Technical forum.

So did the dead battery keep you from logging in to the forum?

Just wondering since that is what this section is about.
