I just got a 2013 gt. I tried to load a tune on it from my sct x3

and now when I tried to turn the car on it wont start.
In the key accessory position theres a loud clicking coming from the engine bay
and on the dash theres a red car with a lock through it that flashes and stays lit sometimes.

Turning the key to start yields nothing.
Any advice is appreciated



FYI I have a battery tender on the car and it says battery fully charged

Try unplugging the matter for 5 minutes or so with the headlight switch turned on, to ensure the system has no power in it. Next, load up the stock tune. If the car returns to its normal state, go ahead and load your new tune back on.

Hopefully this helps.

nevermind I think its a battery issue, charges to 12 volts then drope to 0 after i try and crank it

don't screw around with this, you can easily get into a place where the tune load fails and you'll have to have it towed to Ford to force it back to stock. I always tune with jumper cables from my running truck. That means 14.5 volts dead steady every time.
