"Unable to connect to vehicle" with forscan. No issues with it connecting to a 09 f150 & 2017 Edge in the yard. .

I've been a member here a while & have had/have Escapes, Edges, Lincoln Mkx & now a mercury Mariner in the family which have similar systems. I recently bought a non running 2010 mercury Mariner with the 2.5L (non-ecoboost) & I've come across strange symptoms. No codes showing from my basic code scanner (the battery was dead & had been sitting up almost a year). I found 1 ignition key/fob (out of the 2 key/fobs i have) that would not activate the starter (i even replaced the fob batteries), the dash screen will show "No Mykeys programmed" & 2 Admin keys programmed). I'm NOT getting a fast flash of the theft light on the dash (did get the fast light with the bad key & likely was in use when the vehicle shut off with the previous owner). The engine will run (& stay running) on starting fluid but I'm not getting any rpm input from my foot on the throttle (throttle by wire). Without using starting fluid the engine will start & run for like 3 seconds, i can recycle the key a couple times until i hear the pump activate again & it will start/run 3 seconds again & again (seems like PATS is responsible but I'm not getting the fast dash light). I don't see a manual access port to check the fuel pressure. When I pull 1 of the 3 connectors off the computer & reinstall it i do hear the throttle body operate & possibly sweeping (resetting). I tried connecting forscan the other day with a "no connection" as the response but that was before I found i had 1 bad key fob so I plan to try it again. Oh, when I was checking the relays under the hood I noticed 1 of the radiator fans would operate constantly (wasn't sure if its a separate issue or a symptom of the main issue. Does anyone have any incite? Thanks .

I have a 2017 edge that ive changed to H9 bulbs but the lighting still sucks & the yellow headlights look terrible next to the stock led lower driving lights. Ive been considering trying some HIDs in the Edge but Sylvania are like $140 a piece. wow. Ive never used HIDs before due to the bulbs short life reviews. What do y'all recommend if I do make the switch??? My neighbor has a 2016-2017 mustang & the projector looks the same & i do believe it comes from the factory with HIDs but I dont know the brand ford is using. The mustangs headlights are white & it matches the mustangs stock led lower driving lights. .

Cool thanks, Ill have to check my settings as I didnt receive a email notification from this site.

Bought this vehicle (new) a few months ago for my wife & I plan to tint the door glass (have always done my own vehicles the past 27ish yrs now), I haven't had much time to figure how to get these panels off (without breaking them). Anyone thats tackled it mind giving some pointers? .
