Well, now, your first mistake, was having a "shade tree" mechanic do the work on a modern car ....... I'll betcha he was OLD ........ and still thinks the emergency brake drum on the FR-S is the main brake .......

And the "mechanic" must have been from Indiana and learned his shade tree mechanic skills from working on John Deere tractors .........

What kind of shade tree did he pull your car under ........ any tree other than maple is ....... WRONG!

However, he doesn't sound like a fool ......... "here, I just replaced all the studs on your wheel .... YOU go take it for a test drive" ........

IN case you haven't figured it out ........ ol humfrz is ah jest messen wich ya ......

Like ol @steve99 suggests, just disconnect the negative post of the battery till you can count to 100 (backwards) then hook it back up.

NO, contrary to what ol steve99 says, you DO NOT have to "remove the battery". He was just trying to upsell you into a new battery ...... he had already set you up with his "if your battery is old comment". Next would have been ....... "well, now since you have the battery out" .....

Anyway, welcome to the forum ....... and I hope the battery disconnect snaps the computer back upright ..........
