FG140 batteries dead, won't start

I replaced the batteries in my 2013 FG140 which were completely dead. I believe the security system went off when I opened the door last week to discover the truck dead. I've replaced the batteries but I can't get the security system to recognize the fob and the truck won't turn over. It's like a switch shut off all power. Anybody have any ideas?

I should have mentioned I replaced the key fob battery. So I found out a solution...I put the key in, turn it to on and then pushed the odometer reset which started the electronics. There is a section in the manual discussing the keylock security system but it makes no mention of pushing the odometer button. Weird but it worked.
