2016 GT350 Not Starting/Turning Over PLEASE HELP!!!!

[OrangeCobra1998]

It does sound like a bad battery. If original battery, it's 5 years old. These are basically 3 yr batteries. Have you tried connecting one of those jump starters to it? If it starts, or even just turns over, you know it's the battery.

Thanks, tomorrow its time to make a AUTOZONE Run!!!!! I will owe you all some MODELO NEGRA, with LIME.

Hopefully it is just a simple fix for you. My service advisor did say our batteries are pieces of crap. I believe him, but Ford is footing the bill for another 3+yrs. I'll go aftermarket after the extended warranty period ends.

Don't own a GT350 but I do own two 2015 Ford's. My F150 has 3x the miles that my mustang does and BOTH batteries died within a week of each other last year. Based on my unscientific experience at 5 years on an oem battery you're on borrowed time.

GOSH I hope so, I will keep you all updated. That way hopefully if someone else in the future has this issue they can resolve it.

Batteries here(NM)are done like clockwork around the three year mark. If it‘s convenient and your a member hit Costco. The warranty and price’s are very good.

You can charge it to 100 percent but if it has a shorted cell it will drop when a load is applied. Thats why I asked if you put a meter on and watch as you push the starter.

Okay Gents, new battery, checked all the fuses, even swapped the ignition relay....still NO START and NO CRANK.....

Starter

Been reading on other forums, people have had this issue, and starter seems to be one of the causes..... Its crazy, this car only has barely 6K miles on it, WTH!!!! I will keep this updated.

These cars do have 2 clutch switches, one behind the pedal, and one at the top of the assembly. If you can get it to the dealer their scan tool can easily determine if they are operating properly.

When you say, "at the top of the assembly", is that something you can see or get to if you look underneath? I did not know about the second one.

Its the red sensor shown at the top. You can see it, but have to put the seat all the way back, grab a flashlight and contort your body to fit in there.

Not sure if applicable, but on one occastion my 02 Saleen would not start. Turns out my crank position sensor plug was just a tad bit disconnedted. Once it was plugged in all the way it started. Recommend checking all plug connections. associated with the engine, if not done so already.

You should file for a buyback...

I second this. There have a been a couple of these in the past:
