Hello, I stopped at a customers house- here maybe 20 minutes.
Turned off truck upon arrival.
20 minutes later attempted to start truck, greeted with steering trailer brake error, stop safely, parking brake error, frunk open, etc. and can’t start.

12v battery?

Can I just try jumping this thing?

Thanks


EDIT:
Now that I’m paying attention, when I press the brake pedal (truck off) has the little green light on the start/stop button always started bright- then flickers much dimmer? Is that a sign of a low 12v battery?
I have also noticed the starting chime recently began coming through the dash- as opposed to the sound system. Is that also a sign of a 12v that’s going bad?
Thanks

I would check that the 12V is connected correctly. From others experiences here, if the 12V gets loose you get pandoras box of weird faults related to iffy power.

Those are all signs of low 12v. Get a boost to get the truck started

Thank you gentlemen.
Ford roadside assistance came, hooked up the battery, tender, it took about a minute, but it started.
Looks like I need a new battery
