    Hi
    This car came to me from another garage, no crank, no start with the immobilizer light flashing and a message on the dash saying engine systems fault...
    When scanning, no communication with the PCM...
    Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
    Hope you enjoy the video.
    Any questions or comments put them below.
    Like always, thank you for watching!

    I've fixed literally 100s of these. 99% of time it's the cluster. Odd time it is that earth. Usually the earth if it's constant no-comms and when customer says it's intermittent (or problem started intermittently) it's the cluster. First job is always to resolder the connector on the cluster. It still could bounce on you as the cluster has been out and this helps crack the solder anyway. Focus, CMax, Transit etc. all the same from about 05 to 11 (maybe more). Don't worry if you get U1900 code from cluster after a fix as that's just the cluster not liking the added traffic from the scanner. Also, you were right about the ABS thing. A lot of stuff now has high speed CAN for comms and a different line for diag. Good vid 👍

      I have done about 30 of them over the last couple of years. The solder joints literally crack around the plug. The other common one is the wire that goes from the engine ECU to the bonet fuse box, that fires the efi relay, it corrodes right on the bend in the big T junction where the harness is all taped together below those 2 ground points.

      Clusters on these are also known to fail at the solder points... and need re-solder...
      For most likely will not do that, and will just replace the entire cluster...

    BCM is new (build date 2018 and VDO didn't own Siemens in 2007) so I'm guessing by new snap bolts on the BCM cover that Ford already replaced the BCM to cure this problem.
    Snap bolts can be drilled to hammer a torx bit into the hole to unscrew. Looks neater

    That's a job well done. I was pretty sure that fault would've been at cluster as they have bad solder joints. Well at least I had mine fixed when dash occasionally died on my Mondeo (then again it didn't do anything with immobilizer, it ran just fine). Btw it's kinda irony that wiring loom connector was in quite angle and wire was short. Connected to shaking engine it just wore out. I'd bet that it would've never happened if loom would've been connected straight at factory. Little things that can kill modern car.

    thanks for your valuable video! never thought about checking with the other keys! if anyone can tell me, does a power steering failure message and the car not starting on a ford focus 2006 2L TDCI could be the same issue as here, lack of ground? (if I understood the whole video correctly, hey I did watch it twice lol) my car just started doing that, when you put the key in,nothing all dashboard lights turn on and it doesn't start, however if i move the very hard steering wheel around and it clicks as if locked and try to start, it does start sometimes. it was running just fine a few days back though.

      Try another garage...
      That code could be a simple bad injector...
      Not sure what testing has been done by that garage to get to that conclusion...
      I am not saying it can not be the ecu, just saying that there is few other things to rule out before blame the ecu...
      Even if is the ecu, you can get an used ecu for less than £100... then is just clone...
      Definitely not more than what the car is worth...

      @@LMAutoRepairs i was wondering if you could help me with a question I have.
      I no longer trust garages on this given what's happened so far.
      The ecu has been sent for testing and I should know more in a few days, however what I want to know is if one or more shorted injectors could have killed the ecu and if they repair it and I put it back in is it likely to die again if the injector solenoids are faulty?
      I'm fairly sure I know how the ecu failed (no proof but think garage did it) but I worry if I pay for ecu fixing then the injectors could kill it again.
      Unless it's the other way around and the ecu failure killed injectors which I can deal with.
      They just aren't firing it seems.
      I also checked the wiring in case there were any shorts or broken wires but all are solid.
      I did test the resistance on the injectors and one read lower than others but I'm unsure if I tested correctly or if dead ecu is forcing it etc.
      Thanks again and I really appreciate any help.
