No idea on the later S Types.
When i have the battery off on either of our S Types, I have the remoteat hand, and when reconnected, I press the LOCK button, then the UNLOCK button, and all is fine.
Not doing that has the alarm SET as default when the battery is reconnected. I have NO understanding as to WHY, it just works.

Tried lock and unlock - no change
When I turn on the lights and try to start the car the big headlights turn off and the smaller uppers stay on - the electrical clicking is I think the emergency brake releasing no movement or noise from the engine area at all - no written messages on the dash - the battery oil and engine symbols are lit on the dash when the key is on - not sure if that means anything or not

PATs passed the prove out based on led staying on for 3 sec in run position
All internal lighting on and electrical inside functioning properly
Battery and terminal connectivity seems good - checked fuses under hood - esp #18 fuse #6 footwell and #2 relay - all check out good
New battery - good charge
Still No Crank

Solution
After 7 hours of painful process of elimination - found an after market kill switch tucked in the side of the frame as we we're about to take the starter out to bench test it - googled it up and within 5 min they punched in a code and the car is running like new - dealer forgot to remove it and I guess the low battery set it off

To elaborate, and hi jack.
A long time ago my niece thought she was going to be "grown up". She went to a shady dealer with no credit (at the time she was 18). They sold her a pretty banged up KIA, I should state, beat to the ground. If the price of it wasn't bad enough, IIRC she was paying 22% interest on the loan. It had an immobilizer on it.
One day she called and asked for help when it wouldn't crank, totally dead as if the battery was removed. I ran through some quick checks, lo and behold there was this 3 wire black box wired to the main. I immediately removed it. The car fired right up.
My niece failed to tell me she missed a payment, boom. Also the dealer told her that it was illegal to touch/remove said immobilizer (I knew different). After removing the box I smashed it and sent it back to the dealer. End of story

that's exactly what the dealer told me - they put it in for those who are late on payments - I had paid for the car in full - they are sending me over the codes and transferring it into my name - it has gps tracking etc. - I guess I get a discount on insurance for having it and can track my kids if needed - lol - so I guess I will keep it in?
Otherwise they will send someone out to remove it - I don't really want anyone form the dealer messing with the car honestly - thanks again for all the help - Loyd
