Dfitz22 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I have already done a post but no comments yet, I’m a mechanic an never seen this fault before an this is on my own car, the instrument cluster an sync an climate control all stop working an jus go off completely as if iv pushed the start button to turn the car off but the engine is still running an driving fine, i wud of thought If the instrument cluster dies the engine would cut out aswell but it doesn’t it still drives fine, but no electrics inside the car work atall, but the lights an wipers still work , all started when I set the speed limiter on the motorway after about 5 mins the cluster just died, if I turn off the car by pressing the button an turn it back on everything comes back on an works for about 5 seconds then it all goes off again, iv tested the battery an alternator an they are fine an iv scanned the. Eco for faults an no faults stored, my scanner is basic so I can’t access anything else apart from codes, read an delete an iv checked fuses they all seem fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Most generic code scanners/readers will not show Ford specific DTC's. If you use a laptop with FORScan software it is almost as good as having the real Ford dealer diagnostics. Download FORScan (free): https://forscan.org/download.html New style connecting lead 'vLinker FS': https://www.bmdiag.co.uk/forscan-diagnostic-cable-for-ford-vgate-vlinker-fs No mechanic should be without it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonro2009 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I just checked, he asked the question in the group and received a lot of replies. It was suggested it was the BCM at fault by someone who had a similar issue. He didn't report back on a fix or not and has since left the group. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
