Well yes a faulty dash cluster module won't comunicate with the system.
And as for this flash code?
No a proper dedicated scanner must be used.
Then set for "Global scan",
This protocal will then scan for all modules fitted and their function/fault codes.
I had a Focus in for this exact same set of symptoms.
New starter and battery had been fitted previously.
And no coms with any of my diagnostic units.
Thing is the key doesn't actually engage the starter motor.
When you turn it to crank it runs a system test and if this checks then and only then does the ECU send a signal to the starter relay in the inner wing box which then sends V to the starter solenoid.
And there's a whole lot more Ford "Smart" crud going on as well.
Now I'm not saying yours is the same fault as the Focus but the test is simple,
A proper diagnostic scanner that will run a "Global scan",
You should get this scan done or keep chasing you tail.
f the scan reveals all coms active and can comunicate with all modules then I'm wrong.
If the scan comes up "NO COMS"....................
You have the same fault as described.
