Pull key, wait 10 seconds
What does this message mean???? Just tried to start my car and nothing happened. Tried to jump it and still nothing. Lights under the hood are on and all other lights operational. While trying to jump it, the above message came on "pull key wait 10 seconds". What can I do? My car is at a bar in not the best area of town. I dont really want to leave it there over night. Need help.

I assume you pulled the key and waited the 10 sec? If you did then turn the headlights on to see if they are bright. If they are dim then the battery is low. Even if it was low the under hood light may still be bright.

On the passenger side floorboard pull the cover off for the fuse access and pull #25 fuse and let it set for 10 min. then plug it back in and then hopefully it will start.

Yes the fuse, forgot about that, make the computer forget. Then it might start. But be sure to check the headlights like was said earlier.

I had this happen, but engine would turn over, but not start until I did "AS DIRECTED". Maybe unhook the battery cable (SAFTEY FIRST) to reset the computer? GOOD LUCK & BE SAFE!!!
