the car started and drove onto and back forth on the drive fine (having to move it due to limited space)

since then i have been all over the place buying parts .. started the car up moved it into center of drive so i had more space and taken the complete dashboard out (due to deployed airbags) , put the new dashboard in and everything works fine stereo instrument panel , climate control , voice control everything.. apart from it no longer starts it just comes up '' FORD KEYFREE SWITCH IGNITION OFF PRESS POWER '' (which is a red warning light) and thats it,, refuses to start have tried both key fobs doors lock and unlock fine when you press the pushbutton the screens light up like normal and can toggle the menus etc but when you put foot on brake pedal press start again nothing happens , i have gone through 2 car batterys so far trying to figure it out, any help would be great

(problem as a occur since the dashboard change it was a straight forward job and it drove before i started and i havent did anything else to it since so its defiantly something since the dashboard change)

thanks
