2003 1.8 Ghia Petrol dies while driving

[Milly605]

Hi all,

FORD FOCUS 1.8 GHIA 2003 PETROL

Driving my car on Friday and as I slowed down on a hill towards traffic lights the car dies completely. All lights on the dash went out.  Sequence of events since then:

1. Tried to jump start - no joy but for the shortest of periods the solenoid clicked.

2. Lights on dash now on, all electrics work but stereo went into demo mode and trip meter and clock reset to zero.

3.  When I try to switch on, I can hear the fuel pump but nothing else apart from the lights around the stereo dim. Headlights do not dim, stay normal.

4. Changed battery and checked connections, all appear ok.

5.  Changed crankshaft and camshaft sensors - still nothing...

Is there any sequence for the immobiliser ? The red light flashes every second and stays out when I fully switch the ignition? The remote central locking works fine and the indicators flash when I double press the lock switch on the key fob.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Milly

Best bet is to get it on a diagnostics reader? Can get any fault codes read and go from there.
