Hi mate the clocks have nothing to do with your starting issue. its only a problem on the mk1/2 focus, C max and kuga. Because the clocks on those cars are part of the P.A.T.S. now for your problem check your abs module incase you dont know where that is its behind the battery tray. Hope that helps
@@robertstorey9178 ahh that makes sense with the immo on though. I'm pleased with the clock change anyway, they look so much better than the old orange style. Ohh what makes you think it's the abs module? And not the ECU or BCM?
Thats part of the pats. And its under your windscreen. So it could have corrosion on the plug or terminals if the drain holes are blocked on the cowling.
Might be worthwhile starting from scratch with your diagnostics ., try looking at this video guy intelligent auto .2010 mondeo no crank no start , he will guide you through the process , even shows you the wiring diagram . Yours is an intermittent fault , so obviously more difficult to diagnose , but hopefully it will point you in a better direction . Most good diagnostics technitions find the fault with out throwing the parts cannon at it . Also try Ivan at pine hollows he is very clever also I’m just wondering if your fault is wiring related or possibly the pcm .power control module . Just for a laugh try giving it a tap while some one turns the key for you , hope this helps .
@@lawrencesmith4799 Cheers mate, I've actually been down to Intelligent Auto, since they are about 5 mins from where I live. I explained the problem to him and he kinda looked blank and confused lol. After speaking to him ... I was a bit scared by how much they might end up charging me 😅
We have one of these - to be honest I think they are a bit meh. Nice looking - plenty of room - the drive is nothing to write home about and as they age they get needy. And the subframes rot.
@@brenglover72 yeah on paper they are great, like you say... Size, power, looks etc for the money, it's canny good but they are definitely problematic. I previously owned a 2lt petrol power shift one and I had to pay a grand to get the gearbox repaired.
I’m sure I’ve heard of issues when using the rear wiper wash the pump leaks into the wiring itself and causes corrosion leading all the way to either the bcm or the ecu. Might be a load of rubbish worth a look
I wonder if this age Mondeo has the same issue as the older ones, where washer fluid works its way up the wiring loom and up into the BCM and causes issues. Haven’t looked for a while but untied to be on the Ford forums. Maybe check it out.
Common issue all solder needs redoing plenty of people do on eBay for around 50/60£ I would also check relays under fuse box after you have dropped it down as common issue when people kick them but clocks defo issue and they are programmed to ecu so not just replacing them quick fix would need clocks/ecu and keys
Battery voltage is critical on these cars. I had an old battery that would spin and start the engine on my MK4 with no problems at all but still not good enough and produced endless spurious faults on the diagnostics. Changed the battery and all went away. All the computers in the car systems go mad when the power is glitched if the battery can't hold voltage at peak demand.. All manner of apparently unrelated faults occur. Sorry, I am sure you know this already but as you keep swapping the battery just wonder if you really have eliminated that as an issue.
@@piclife1178 yeah the Volvo's are the same... Just with it being pretty much the same car. That wouldn't explain why it works after several weeks of sitting... When the battery isn't charged... Unless it's clearing the faults somehow? Mmm...
I THINK YOU MAY HAVE HAD A FURRY RESIDENT COMMON WITH CARS FROM COPART GET A FREE FURRY FRIEND WITH EVER CAR ON ANOTHER NOTE HAD A FOCUS WHAT WOULDN'T START TURN OVER NOTHING FOUND OUT IT WAS ABS SENIOR ON BACK WHEEL
I think somebody already use that car as a parts car or something swapped good bits for their bad bits because the old cluster clocks you replaced where the wrong clocks for the car in the first place judging by the style the wheels and the stereo of that car it should have obviously had The clocks that you’ve put in it with the big Ford digital logo because the stereo is satnav and all the heating controls are on the stereo they’re normally like titanium which come with the digital clocks not the old shitty ones so it probably came with the wrong clocks in the first place
@@marktipton218 you had me wondering there about the previous clocks so I've looked a few of the same age/specs up and some have the horrible orange clocks mate... Maybe it's less abused than we thought lol. I think, if it's that stereo and leather, it gets the nice clocks, if it's cloth seats, it's orange clocks... Possibly? 🤷🏿♂️ Lol
@ have you thought about taking it to Ford and Maybe paying them one hour labour just to diagnose the problem because like I said sometimes on any Ford you need the proper full diagnostics machine to get into the ECU of the car to tell you what’s wrong bud had a smax once it was a nightmare
Ford are an absolute nightmare unless they’re running correctly. You can only really sort foods out with proper Ford diagnostics machines there worse than BMW and Mercedes even if you changed the washer pump that squirts the water to clean your windows that has to be coded to the car it’s pathetic.
It's good to see this car drives... Drives you crazy! Watched both videos on it and all I'm hearing is that fault sound! 😂
@@Theworldsobvious lol, at this point I'm pretty sure that's the "sound" of my channel.
I feel for you man, so depressing. So funny every time you would start it I would be making noises 😂
@@rickyrall1971 lol, I'm glad my pain assumes you 😞😉 I'm sick of that bloody sound! Lol

Haven't you bridged some pins with your soldering job? It's very common with a larger tip like you've used.
@@mathieubroersma probably lol. The newer cluster looked way better anyway... Everything for a reason?
Learned alot watching your videos you are a Top man
@@Z-jh8bm the only thing I can teach you is, don't buy a Mondeo lol. Glad you've enjoyed it 🤙

Swap the bcm for one with the same part number. Job done
@@DoubleG79234 so your thinking that... More than the ECU?
@ yes I told you about it on a previous video you made about the same issue
Did you manage to change that oil filter with that big socket? As far as i know you need a shallow socket to get in there.
@@jamesdavis8425 nah mate I went to the garage and got this... U shaped thing off them and used that, it worked a treat tbf

I think the dry solder issues mostly affected the Focus, have not heard of Mondeo suffering that problem, could be wrong
@@barryoneill5854 yeah it was only the Focus's that I saw it happening on... But the comments were so adamant! I had to try them lol.
I’m sure I’ve heard of issues when using the rear wiper wash the pump leaks into the wiring itself and causes corrosion leading all the way to either the bcm or the ecu. Might be a load of rubbish worth a look
Nope this is actually a thing!
clocks on these such common problem can get them repaired pretty simple job to be fair
@@richclark7587 lol, it's not that simple... I broke the screen ribbon 😅

@@jacksonsystemslimited I checked it in the first video mate, the BCM was dry/no corrosion... Granted, it could still be goosed lol
BCM module needs replacing mate, common on mondeo when its been left sitting for a while
@@theskylinegtrrr ohh really? I wonder if the ECU is fried... But then the BCM has died/developed problems while sitting in Copart.... Mmm.
Had the same with a focus I had. Sent them off for repair fault never came back
@@alandavies2122 ohh really, what did you send off? The ECU? BCM? Clock?

Can you not get the imooblizer mapped oot?
@@jonnyward2905 I've googled it and nothing came up unfortunately
Which xtool are you using 😊
@@shaunhewitt d8s, I think it is
I see the mondeo and vw are up for sale on marketplace so which on are u keeping?
@@SinghSingh-q4s ohh someone's good at "eye spy" 😉 I'll keep which ever makes the most financial sense... If any lol
What scan tool are you using pal
@@craigrice1960 xtool d8s, I've had thinkcar and SnapOn too, when it was at the garage. I'm pretty sure by now, the ECU is just cooked lol

I’ll give you 20 quid for it 👌😂

@ 20 quid is 20 quid hahaha
Clocks need coding 👍
