I searched but it seems I’m the only one with this problem...
So I had the day off work today and I woke up early and realized I was parked behind my brother. So being a nice guy I go outside to move my 2011 sho and nothing no start but a bunch of electrical gremlins..
The brake pedal is very stiff and the security light is flashing slowly(has been flashing for a couple weeks..)
Initially I tried to jump it but nothing. I then unhooked both terminals and left it for 20 minutes to try to reset the system.
I will attach a video of what is happening.
Could it be the tune? Any input wanted.

I would start by guessing that it is not recognizing the fob. This can happen due to weak/bad battery in the fob, or due to electrical interference in the area. iirc, there is a spot in the center console to put the fob when it is not being recognized and the system will "find" it there and allow the car to start.

I would also replace the batteries in the fob. Let us know what happens.

Got it started. Put the fob in the spot and hooked battery up to a charger and it started. I think this battery is dying it’s a Walmart battery that’s 2 years old. Going to replace that and the batteries in my fob

I weak battery in the car can cause this. I used to get no key messages after the car was started pretty frequently until a no start the required a jump. I replaced the battery right after that and have not had the issue since.

The new cars do insane things when the battery is dying/dies. My 2016 Focus ST looked like a strobe light convention inside when the battery was crapping itself.

Get yourself a battery tester off amazon for like 30-40bucks, and periodicity test your batt. I use one everyday at work and they really help keeping an eye on your battery life.
