COPART HAS DONE ME DIRTY! HELP! PLEASE HELP!!! 

You have a Delphi ECU fitted to that model This engine ECU fitted to Ford Mondeo (Mk IV) and Ford Kuga (Mk II) diesel engines is a common failing module that will prevent cranking and start of the engine. When the ECU completely fails you will find that the engine management system fails to achieve communications with your diagnostic equipment. Instead there will be loss of communication fault codes from other electronic modules on the vehicle. Symptoms often begin intermittently with limp mode being activated, the vehicle cutting out and then being unable to restart. At this stage the Mondeo/Kuga ECU may store fault codes relating to sensor voltage references and ECM/PCM power relay de-energised performance. The message ‘Engine Malfunction’ may appear on the dash along with the illumination of the engine management warning light. This ECU failure not only affects Ford Mondeo and Kuga diesel models but also: C-Max, Focus, Galaxy and S-Max. You can send it to ECU testing Delves Rd Heanor Gate Ind Est, Heanor DE75 7SJ · 01773 535638 I use them all the time

@@grandad8753 tried... It seemed to make it work but after using the washer jets, it's stopped turning over again 😞

100% agree - wipers something else most lkke

When I say dash, I mean instrument cluster. Sorry, I’m in *idiot*.

@@p8ddy as if that could be it! Surely Ford should have really fixed that issue! Glad it sorted yours out mate

@@p8ddy 😂

@@ste4414 it's such a stupid design/fault for when they happens. I'm not convinced it's that though because the BCM is perfectly dry with zero signs of corrosion... It's honestly batted my head!

@@CurrusOfSalvage mine never either pal, try it nothing to lose, keep us updated

@@stephenburgreave2525 where's the fun in that? Lol. Tbf, I would be scarred by what a garage would want to charge me for trying to find the fault since they'll check a lot of the things I've already checked... If you know what I mean

I'm a very sweet guy!! Lol.

@@wayneguilliatt4144 ahh Cheers, I'll check that fault code. As if the clocks hold that much power! Lol

@@CurrusOfSalvageyup I think it was saving salvage had that problem on a focus. Old solder on the rear of the clocks and it wouldn’t start…

@@wayneguilliatt4144 The Mondeo clocks are not the same as the focus clocks. Totally separate from the immobiliser. The mk4 Mondeo will start with any donor clocks but the mileage will carry over and read whatever is the mileage on the donor clocks.

@@DoubleG79234 ah didn’t know that. Every day is a school day. 👍👍

@@StephenBrown-y1c ohh I'm glad you found the fault on yours. I've had an auto electrician out who checked the ECU connectors and wiring and he said it was all fine, sadly 😞

Ohh the actual bottle... There was random fluids on the front under tray part

@@alanthomas8519 tbf, I did only check the motor and not the plug on the wiring... I'll give it a look over the next day or so, cheers. It's on my to do list.

@@marcwallace8589 the auto electrician tried that and it didn't work... But it seems to be the main answer from people... Cheers mate.

Charge the car battery so you haven't got voltage problems when checking. But think either the bcm has got water in at some point or it's your dash clocks

@@jasonsumner1354 yeah I've tried that, cheers, that's why I need the code for the stereo, which I didn't think about 😅 my head's still thinking it's the BCM module and the wipers are messing it up...

@@DoubleG79234 ohh are they? My BCM board is bone dry and when I changed the pump, it sent the car scatty for the wiper controls... That's very interesting about it being plug and play though, cheers!!

@@CurrusOfSalvage my Bcm looked good too 👍

How much did that set you back? I would prefer to find a company local to the North East, that I could take it to, instead of posting it off somewhere...

That's a canny shout, clean up the board for possible dust, crap and "limescale"-esk crap that was on the outside. Cheers.

@@dennispowell7719 how do they even create that fault? Lol.

@@jasonsumner1354 yeah I didn't think to check the connector block that goes into the jet motor! Stupid of me really, I should have lol

@@ivorhardy-n7n tried it mate, it seemed to work but once I used the jet washers, it's dead again

But why would it stop the immo from working... It just doesn't make sense, nothing with this bloody car makes sense! Lol. I think the scuttle panel is clear, but I'll have a look, cheers.

@@Theworldsobvious it sounds like you remember my pain from the Volvo lol

@@theskylinegtrrr I bought a forscan reader thing, but it wouldn't link up to the car but, that's when the car wouldn't start, like when the ECU wont communicate. I'll have to wait until it decides to work again before trying but yeah, I think it's the BCM module. I didn't know they were plug and play, that's very interesting to know! Cheers

Yeah I did think I could possibly try an OEM motor

@@liamcushley9866 that's the beauty of it... It's all about the gamble 😁

@@jamesschannel1975 yeah I have mate but when it won't start, it won't communicate with the ECU so I can't read the fault... Which points towards the ECU being the fault?

Yeah I didn't like the limescale stuff on it but the auto electrician I had out said it was standard on these due to the placement of them

The whole dash? 😉 I'll give the clocks hit a try the mora

@@dennispowell7719 it worked for a bit but once I used the jet washers, it won't turn over again

@CurrusOfSalvage you wouldn't belive the issues bad solder joints on the clocks can cause mate especially immobiliser issues

They are all perfectly dry mate, no corrosion or anything on them...

@@ianberry1713 yeah it was, I mean, technically it does... Just don't expect to drive it within 3 weeks of turning it off 😂

@@CurrusOfSalvage I’m thinking you should cut your losses and either sell as salvage/scrap or on eBay as spares or repair as a non runner. I think you’ve opened up a can of expensive worms 😬

@@ianberry1713 yeah I'm thinking the same tbf... But I'm very stubborn... Lol

I'll give it a shot the mora, cheers.

@@petergrinnell2500 😂😂 that's what Sidney was saying! That makes complete sense! Lol.👍

@@kevinrussell6869 do you mean like an actual physical crack on the board itself?

That's my thinking too ... If the ECU was goosed, it would never start?

@@davidcook5954 that might be the trusted comment yet! Lol

@@6brad9 the, Ford electrics strike again... Saying that, my old daily had a clock spring problem and they can be a nightmare!

@CurrusOfSalvage I'll change it over anyway ,or fit a new secondary horn button on my wheel

@CurrusOfSalvage well blow me away steady held the unlock fob to put all windows down and then steady up 🤣🤣🤣 horns back working

​@@6brad9😂😂

@@grahamsmith1824 checked it, it's fine... Cheers though, I'll take any suggestion at this rate! Lol

@@chucky2316 I've got it but the car won't read it while it's in this "fault...", which it's back in unfortunately lol

@CurrusOfSalvage I have one they are brilliant cars but they do have two issues which most people have pointed out on here. I checked my screen washer when I replaced the motor. Good luck with it my friend

@@grahamsmith1824 I've changed it 😞

Bloody hell, that's crap timing for that too happen for you. I tried changing the washer motor and it sent the wiper controls mental lol.
