unofix Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 It looks like at least one connector will need replaced on the harness and possibly two. It might be a trip to a scrap yard to salvage an old harness and then splice the connectors on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the keys do need coded in, then all vehicles聽 2013 onwards can only be coded by a Ford main dealer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure the part number of the replacement is an exact match. The revision letter must be the same or higher than the original. So I have the part number, which is聽DV6T-14A073-DL so do I need an exact match to this?聽 when you say the revision letter must be the same or higher than the original which letter do you mean...sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Hi Paula, I did suspect you might have an issue getting a new connector. They are probably available from AliExpress if you knew the part number. There is a guy here on the forum who is very good at identifying connectors he might be able to help piotr @piotrmod聽next time he is here. Or you could ask @Rowan112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piotrmod Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Hi! @unofix Thanks for remembering!聽 I'll do my best to help. Firstly, need VIN to sort out BCM number and exact connector references. This is Focus MK3, which year? P. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabolo58 Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 quick update for you, so the new connector came, I have de-pinned all the old connector and re pinned into the new connecter ( did one at a time to make sure that I didn't mess it up聽馃槣) Now onto ForScan to restore all my backup and it keeps failing to write block 1 on the PSCM (AS BUILT) and also the ABS (AS BUILT) its saying incompatible configuration.... I'm confused what to do next guys聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Thanks for keeping the forum updated. The ABS unit should not need the AsBuilt file loaded as it is still the original. FORScan has limited access to the ABS files which is probably why it's not able to write to it. As regards the PSCM, I've no idea why you would have a problem with that. The only AsBuilt file that should need reloading is the BCM, all other files should be unchanged. Are you using the vLinker FS cable ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabolo58 Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 yes using the vLinker cable, I had backed up all of the files, I have reloaded the BCM file but still got nothing 馃槥 聽 Wondering if its the key and needs coding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FORScan can only programme keys in to the vehicle up to 2013. After that it is a Ford dealers job 馃檨 When you try to start, is it "Crank No Start" or is it "No Crank" ?

unofix Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 If you do a brand new scan of all modules (not using existing stored profile) with FORScan what DTC's does it come up with ? Does it read all modules or are some missing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabolo58 Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 I'll try it again tomorrow, I've come in for tonight as I was getting frustrated lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I would recommend looking over on the FORScan site and asking if they can help. Usually they seem to be a helpful lot and will work with you to try and sort your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
