LR-4 Wont Start

[KenAir]

Im Traveling in TX right now and my wife tried to strart the LR-4 today and nothing happened. When she walked up the doors unlocked for her and the Nav screen came on. When she tried to start, nothing. Not even the no smart key warning. She couldnt even get it to turn accessories on. She decided to go back in and wait to see what happend a little later. When she came back out about ten min later the front LEDs were flashing, thats the only lights flashing, and there is a ticking sound inside. Like the emergency flasher but they are not on. She cant lock the Rover from the key FOB or the doors and the flashing LEDs wont stop flashing. Any Ideas other than a dead battery, and that makes no sence.

Sounds like a light has been left on and the battery is flat........... Would seem right from the description....

Thats what I was thinking but why would the front LEDs be flashing? Why would it unlock and systems start to spool up? Yea the battery could have been very weak and had enough juice to unlock and start the spool up of systems, but why the flashing LEDs?

did you have an iphone or smartphone near the car? land rover wont admit it, but they are causing software issues with the LR4 which could result in it not starting. there is a very quiet bulletin circulating around the land rover dealers. they had to buy my first one back. # 2 is now having problems as well....

Was the brake applied during the start attempt?
