I thought my C-Max was immune to the radio / ACM / APIM issue but had my radio locked up once about a year or so ago. Pulled fuse 79 and everything has been normal since. The fact that you haven't been driving the C-Max much in the last few months likely drained the battery to a very low State of Charge just from normal drain when car is off. Thus, it likely wouldn't take much additional drain (say from ACM) to yield the no-start condition. Again I can't say enough about getting the FORScan App and an OBDII Elm327 adapter to monitor PIDs including 12 V battery SOC, tire pressure, 12 V battery charging voltage, check / reset 12 V battery age, and other data. Four times in the last 5 years or so, I noted a loss in tire pressure in one tire of just a few PSI. Upon examination of the tire, there was a screw in the tire.

No, that’s not a charger. Look for a charger that is at least 5 A, 8 or 10.would likely charge alittle faster. Make sure it is a fully automatic, smart charger. If battery voltage was that low, it will likely take at least 10-12 hours and maybe more to reach full charge. A new Motorcraft battery has a capacity of around 43 Ah. My battery is 5 years old and it’s full capacity is now around 28 Ah or about 64% of its new capacity after I fully charge it on my battery charger. BTW, I always put tire and battery receipts in glove box so I can easily find them after 5 years.?

RAV4 fits more square boxes in the cargo area because its more-square profile allows. Escape has more people room. Frank
