Call the AAA, they have a great battery service, will come to you and tell you what's wrong.

and twist the battery cables on the posts to make a better contact..try jumping it/charge battery..or take out battery and have it checked somewhere..if no AAA .right mark... then there is that ford solenoid.

If you have a keyless remote start then check the battery in it. Check the keys for it as well. A locksmith or Ford dealership can reset all for a fee anywhere from $100-300. The internet search and You Tube videos will give instructions on how to reset everything however it will be a temporary repair until the computer is set correctly. Most local yocals don't know how to do this so check repairs online for year and make/model of vehicle. Opting to install a bypass costs around the same but no more problems with the start. ie: alarm won't work and ignition will engage. If you have the manual that came with the car the instructions are in it otherwise check out justgivemethedamnmanual.com online. Hope this helps!
