Hello everyone, after an hour of trying to start my car I've given up and left it in morrisons car park. Brief history, first I had immobiliser issues, new battery fixed this, then the car would start after a few turns of the key, then it'd take 10+ turns, today I stripped it down and ordered a new ignition switch, started the car with a screwdriver then put it all back together, went shopping as it started multiple times after this and now nothing at all, I can't even get my tunnel rat obd2 scanner to connect, I took the switch off and tried starting it with a screwdriver but nothing, now the immobiliser light is back on and I can't clear the fault cause the scanner won't connect. I looked online to see if there's a work around to get it started but due to it promoting car theft I had no luck 馃槀

I feel it is quite likely it鈥檚 a dodgy connector in a plug in the wiring loom. If it was a mk2.5 focus I could tell where the connectors are(having had similar troubles)聽but don鈥檛 know about fiesta.聽

The new ignition switch arrived today, fitted it which allowed forscan to connect, cleared the immobiliser fault & it started first time 馃

it might sound like I am all doom and gloom here. don't count your chickens yet. I can't see how an聽ignition switch problem would prevent obd fault聽code reader communicating with the ECU (assuming when you were doing this you did get the dashlights to come on) . Hope it is all fixed now but I suspect it may still have an intermittent fault.
