truck won't start....

I have an '03 F-150 supercrew and I disconnected the battery for a few minutes and then reconnected it and now my truck won't start. It doesn't even turn over. Everything works like the lights, stereo. Does it have something to do with the anti-theft? Any help would be appreciated

Is your theft light blinking fast?

Most likely a quick cleaning of the battery cables and battery posts will get you going again. Clean up any corrosion by neutralizing it with mixture of baking soda in water. Replace any battery clamps that are damaged or cables that are corroded. Get the cleaned up connections tight and good luck!

It ended up being a little button under the dash from a remote starter that used to be on there but was removed by the previous owner. I guess it wasn't completely removed. It's all good now

Thanks.
