Default Re: Focus not starting

Do you get ANY response when the start button is pressed? Have you checked that it's actually powered and working?

Unfortunately that won't work as the the fuel will still be cut-off.

If you suspect the shifter-switch, try jiggling the shifter when locked in park, and/or in Neutral.

You could also try resetting the transmission.
one option is simply disconnecting the battery and leaving it sit for a good while (opinion differs as to time, I would leave it overnight to be sure). (Obviously this will also reset everything else.)
You can also google & rubetube for various reset procedures.
Here's one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCVWYIPIPK4
but it seems to vary greatly depending on model and transmission. (And no guarantee it will actually help your problem.)
