So I just got back from Iraq and thought I would spend a few dollars on my GT. I have an SLP LM, Eibach Pro Kit, Saleen Short Adaptor, JLT Intake, Xcal 2, and I just had 4.10's installed yesterday.
So I left Good Year from getting my gears installed, then an hr later my car was completely dead. The lights still work, but it won't crank at all. I was thinking maybe my alarm shut down, but honestly i have no idea. I have my car at the dealership now, but they didn't have a chance to look at it.
I am not mechanically inclined at all and I just don't want the dealership to say it was my mods that caused it. Any input id GREATLY appreciated. Thank You.

No it died it the parking lot. Where would the fuel pump reset button located? I did remove the fuse for the fuel pump but I put it back. The car died two days after I put in my tunes, do you think that could have caused it?

WELCOME HOME!!!
Thanks for keeping my country safe, you did good. My bro might be going back and my sister in-law is leaving next month.

Back to the subject. If you car was sitting for a long time the battery might be dead. Try jumping it and if it starts drive around for a while and let the battery charge. If it still don't start, well get it towed to the dealer I guess.

Check the charge on the battery...
I had enough juice to open the doors turn on the lights etc, but not enough to start it...
Throw a trickle charger on it and see how low the voltage is... if its been sitting, this could be your problem

Thanks Dustin. I guess I will be waiting till Monday now anyway. I tell you it sucks when a brand new car won't start.

Check your tune. I had a tune sent to me, and my car wouldn't start. Turns out the tune was for those with Charge Motion Delete Plates....It's far fetched, but that could be your problem.
