Transit fail to start - thinks it's been in an accident
Discussion
I'm hoping someone can give me some direction on where to go next.With this , as we cannot find any local mechanics prepared to come out and the van is too big to tow anywhere.
My Son changed the interior light fuse on his 2014 Ford. Transit, and since then, the Van has refused to start giving a message that the Van had been involved in an accident
We have replaced the colission sensitive switch in the passenger footwell, and this has made no difference. The fuel pump still will not function. All fuses seem good - we as a loss to know what to check next? Has anybody had a similar experience or can point me in the right direction, pleasew

Easily fixed by paying a recovery company to recover it for you. I wonder whether the body module thinks air bags have deployed, or something like that. Have you tried disabling the alarm and then disconnecting the vehicle battery for a couple of minutes? Perhaps that will reset it.
Why was the fuse changed? Have you tried reverting whatever was done there?

WE HAVE CANCELLED THE CODE A FEW TIMES BUT IT REAPPEARS WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED BACK ON.
ILL TRY DISCONECTING THE BATTERY THIS EVENING

When you say "you've replaced the switch" in the pass footwell, I assume you've pushed the switch right in on it?
To check its working, you can pull it out and check for continuity with a meter (from around 11 mins in)

The switch is new so "probably" ok but will check continuity this pm. Button is pushed in.To check its working, you can pull it out and check for continuity with a meter (from around 11 mins in)

To put a conclusion to this - van towed to an Auto electrician who Reprogrmed BCM /ECU and both keys. All now well and £340 the poorer .
Thanks to all who commented.
Cheers for updating the thread, wonder how that happened though? Somehow shorted something while changing the fuse? Thanks to all who commented.
Or was something already broken at that point which caused the fuse to blow? odd
