3.5 won't start

My supervisor has a 16 with the 3.5. He went to go start it this morning, around 0f out, and said it wouldn't start. Make a click. He said the lights all looked bright. Tried jumping it but no difference. He had it taken to the dealer to figure it out.

a lot of times the issue with the no start with jumping it off has to do with the cheap battery cables. Sounds like a battery that went to lunch.

Huh, sounds like something electrical. Did he try starting it in neutral?

Also, which 3.5? EcoBoost or otherwise?

It's the Ecoboost.
It's only a year old. He didn't say if they dimmed down when he tried to start it. I'll have to ask
