Ok here is the update... to the Dead car issue... I did the KISS Method. Made sure the FOB batteries and Auto Battery was all good. No start.. I thought i would unplug the last item Mod. and Car started fine and has been good since. SO... Long story short. The after market HUD display I bought for the car was messing it up. It has been in and on the car for months but all of a sudden it messed with the cars Computer... So Advice to others. DO NOTR BUY and or install the Chinese made HUD for our Mustangs.. It looked great and was made into the Dash speaker panel but.. It lookes like.. our cars do not like something that is plugged into our OBD port all the time....

I have a bluetooth obd adapter that I plug into my 1999 F350 7.3L. As soon as my laptop connects to it, my truck shuts off and will not restart until its unplugged.

Thank you for the follow up/resolution.
I never would have thought to suggest checking that from your original post, glad you got it sorted out.
Had I known there was a permanent attachment to the OBD port I would have suggested trying to remove it.
I've never had something like kill a battery but have had them cause false codes before. That's the reason I won't use anything that has to live in the OBD port.
