Hello everyone.
im new here dont even know if im posting in the right place for the problem i have, so please dont go mental if its the wrong place lol.
I have an 06 ST sometimes when i go to start it, it wont start all the lights and blowers come on stereo comes on but nothing from the engine no clicking or ticking after many hours of frustration i ended up with the the key fully turned, the clutch in and i started shaking the gearstick in and out of gear i done this quite vigorously and it started up anyone ive spoken to at my local garages look at me like im speaking a foreign language some laugh as theyve never heard of this. Ive had an ecu reader on it no faults i then spoke to someone who told me could be neutral safety switch/sensor i ordered one from ford then checked with them and was told it wasnt compatible i dont even think my car has neutral safety switch/sensor. Has anyone heard of this happening before? As i mentioned it only happens sometimes but its a pain in the a*#e and i think i might be doing some damage rattling the gearstick about. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Could be instrument cluster if an Focus, can get it repaired but ECU repairers.https://www.googleadservices.com/pag...qcQ0Qx6BAgCEAE

Does the cluster go --- and not show the mileage when it won't start, you shaking the gearstick, you could try smacking the top of the dash instead

 

Everything comes on all instruments are working. Trust me ive tried the slap lol
