CX-9 will not start

[tony89]

Car was garaged for 5 hours during the day. I came out to leave and the car will not start.

At first I thought it was the battery, but it is fine and there is no cranking from the starter. There is a flashing key on the console making me believe this is an antitheft issue.

I have 2 keycards for the car. Neither key will unlock the doors. The physical keys will not start the car either.

The nearest dealer is 45 miles away. Towing it would be an expensive option! Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Figured it out

Wiggled stick shift and car started! Duh! It must have not been seated properly.
