Check make sure nothing has been unplugged while the battery was put in..If it all looks ok drive it alittle bit,,sometimes the computer needs to relearn after the battery has been disconnected..
immobilsor has come on so only course of action is to call a specialist auto locksmith or the dealer to release the immobilisor ,have you lost the chip out of the key?? have a look and try the spare key
If you have the factory Ford remote you do not see any screw holding this case together. It is simply snapped together. Use a butter knife to open. Fit the knife at the seam and gently pry open. The the battery can be replaced
Write down the vehicle VIN call the Ford dealer where the car was purchased new from. Talk to the service advisor and ask them to look it up. They will have it.
just a thought, many ford I've had had the reset code written on the radio in permanent marker... about 40% of them have it written on by previous owner or fitter, since the radios were not super desirable and pretty unlikely to be nicked and really annoying when you removed the battery or blew a fuse. pull out the radio and look for a number.
Always use new head bolts.
1)tighten to 40ft/lbs
2)back off 1/2 turn
3)tighten back to 40ft/lbs
4)tighten an additional 90 degrees
5)tighten an additional 90 degrees.
you can go to auto zone and they can print out a diagram on the location but usually if you see the battery and follow the wires from the battery all the way over to the alternator (it looks like a baby generator) with a belt on top of the pulley
I imagine you are talking about the plug wires one end attaches to the plug itself and the other to a unit usually mounted to the lower side of the battery
