2007 Mustang won't start?

Question

My battery went dead in my mustang, i recharged it and it still won't start, doesn't even try to crank. It was locked when the battery died, and i unlocked it with my key. Someone suggested that it could be something to do with the anti theft system thinking that the car is still locked, so i tried locking and unlocking the car with the key fob. It still won't start. anyone have ideas?

Answer 1

Take it to the dealer. It has a 1 year adjustment period on it. Let the Ford guys deal with it. That's what warranty is for.

Answer 2

A number of things could be the cause.
Do the lights come on? Is there any sound at all when you turn the key?
Could be a loose cable or corrosion on the terminal.
Could be the starter.
It's possible the shut off valve but you would hear it turning over with no gas going through to start
Did you install anything (lights, radio amp?)
Does it have a remote starter. There's a kill switch that may be defective.
It could be a faulty solenoid switch.
Is the car in park? Sounds stupid but try pushing the gear shift forward while turning the key. Sometimes it just slips out of gear (I had this happen on a Ford I had)

Answer 3

Just in case, I would check the emergency fuel shut off button as well which the manual should show you as to its location. On most Fords, if you hit a large pothole which the computer believes that an accident might have occured, it'll trigger this shut off valve so the car doesnt catch fire.

If you just dont have any lights, even if its dimmed, and nothing lights up on the dashboard its probably your anti-theft feature. Your manual will show you how to reset it. This I'm betting might be it. Make sure your using your encoded key of course.

Answer 4

Can't say yes or no. First read your manual. I'm not a Ford owner, but on my Chevy, the following controls my interior lights: the dash headlamp pull on shaft which can be rotated to on or off, the interior lamps them self which have control switches, and the interior light security system which can stay on from 30 seconds to ten minutes, depending on how programed. If none of this helps, drop by your FLM store for help.

Answer 5

Your anti-theft alarm might be too sensitive and going off frequently. That would drain the battery quickly. If you have a Ford alarm (it actually says Ford on the module) the dealership should be able to help you with it. If you have an aftermarket alarm, you might have to go find a technician.

Answer 6

if it is the security system u will have to have some one clear the codes out of the computer then u will have to relearn the security module with apropriate relearn procedure fords are bad for only dealers being able to work on security systems sorry about your luck

Answer 7

you got to unlock with key but passenger side , check after that fails to start turn the lights on then try to start with the lights on if your lights stay on its your starter but if your lights dim down check your battery or terminals or replace battery

Answer 8

is it in park? your battery should not have went bad on a 2007 call the dealership and it should be under warrenty.
