Might be alternator might have went bad
I'm having the same problem
No back yard mechanic never a alternater, you must didn't understand what he was saying the problem is.
I had same problem and it turned out the key fob had to be reset.
Reset the key fob and it still doesn't work fuck Ford lol
I reset on door panel after rebuilding alternator new battery starter still wont start
I found out the problem on my Ford (i was the one who asked the question) After spending 800 dollars "fixing" the problem twice... Turns out if you lift off the air filter you will see a thin rod that connects from the gear shift to the transmission. There it connects to a tear drop shaped switch on top of the transmission. the attachment from rod to switch is with this yellow plastic clip. It was loose and all i did was set the switch to park "tear drop pointed closest to you" then squeeze the clip closed as it had popped open. Car starts up every time.
