Hubbys NEW 05 stang just died!
Hubbys new 05 premium coupe just died on him. Let me explain. Went out yesterday to start her up and the remote door opener would not open the door.....he used the key...put it in the ignition and heard 2 or 3 clicks, all the dash lights started flashing, but would not do anything else. Anybody ever have this problem? Thinking its a computer issue? Course he is pissed and not happy that it will have to be towed to the dealer. Any ideas?

We have had a couple of people in here have "Electrical" problems.... In almost every event it was the "Smart Jack" which monitors and controls all electrical facilities of the car.
Take it to your dealership - - er - uh - - have it towed to your dealership
and tell them ya wan't it FIXED! Maybe they will loan you a GT to drive while they have it!

Thanks for the help. He checked the battery cables first. ok.....he went to dealer this morning and I think we are going to get the run around. Told us we had to call Roadside Asst for towing. Suppose to be here in a few hours to take it to the dealer who was less than helpful...big surprise.....no mention of a loaner at all.....so we shall see if we have a good experience or not. Thanks to you all for the feedback.

RE: Hubbys NEW 05 stang just died!
This isn't a new problem. Mine had the same thing happen after only a week in the garage. Funny thing was, I left it for a month after that and it started right up. Go figure??? Anyway, Ford has a TSB out regarding battery discharge, but it really isn't much help. I've included the link for you, having a copy may be helpful when you go to the dealer. If they have a TSB out on it, they should definitely spring for the loaner.
