Ford Focus - Non start - Matty89

hi. i have a ford focus 05 1.6tdci that wont start after it took a knock on the driver side font.

I've checked wires and fuses, all seem to be good. i have noticed the immobilizer light continuasly flashing on the dash, would that indicate an inercha switch by any chance? do diesels even have one of those?

im realy stuck for my car, any help given will be realy appericated.

Thanks.

It may be fitted with a crash/inertia switch.Probably located in footwell panel,passenger side.Check the handbook.

I checked the handbook, and took apart both foot wells, no inertia switch found. Would it be possible the immobilizer has to be programmed/re-programmed?
