so i go to start my mustang last night after leaving the store, It makes a weird noise behind the dash and then EVERYTHING shuts down. No electrical, no lights, no alarm.. so we tried to jump the battery NOTHING, the car dosnt even turn over, you cant even here if the starter is trying.. All im getting is the picture in the dash with the car and lock on it in red.... ANY help would be awesome the car is sitting in a parking lot...

It's not a Car Alarm issue is it? Can you arm/dis-arm the alarm? Did you try to dis-connect the battery and then reconnect it? Any recent work done to the car where something may of become disconnected?

You haven't had any previous battery related issues?

Is it possible someone bumped your car and the fuel pump safety switch cut out. I believe the reset button is behind one of the side kick panals. I thinks if this happen it should still turn over though?

Sounds like a PATs issue to me, that's what the red locked car symbol means. Dunno exactly where to go from here. First, I'd try any spare keys you have. Then I guess I would call a dealer.
