Hey there, im 17 and money is extremely tight so wanting to try every option before i pay someone to do it for me. I have a 2009 ford focus zetec s 1,6 petrol. While i was driving all my electronics appeared to be failing and then the car shut off, had to get it recovered to my house. Everyone told me it was IC so i drove 3 hours to get it repaired by a specialist who does alot of the ford focus clusters, he said there were the common cracked solder joints and 1 hour later told me it was all fixed and he was happy with it and on my way home I went, certain it would start. To my surprise It still wouldnt start, however all the electronics in my car were now working properly and had power steering again. When i turn the ignition on with the only key i have for the car, the mileage dissapears, i have a few warning lights on the dash and the immobiliser light is going crazy, after waiting it displays code  1:3, which is key code not recieved however don't want to spend 300 i don't have getting a new key for it still not to work. I have tried all the immobiliser/IC fuses in passenger footwell and engine bay, the ground looks good on the battery and on facebook I am getting lots of mixed answers and all of which are going to costs hundred once added up. Does anyone know whats going on, I start my new job monday 16th jan and desperately need it by then to get to work etc. Please help

    Hi Ethan, I imagine that that there has been many attempts to start the car in the last week or two.

    So firstly lets start with a couple of things that cost nothing. Charge the battery (even if your are confident that it is fine). Let the battery have a good full 12 hour charge before part two of this operation. Next disconnect the negative battery lead and leave it off for 30 minutes. Then reconnect the battery lead and wait 10 minutes before you try and start the car.

    If all is OK you should be back in business.

    Should you still have the same fault then the next stage is to use a laptop and an ELM327(modified) lead to read the Ford specific DTC's.
