      Assuming the related fuses, globes, wring globe holders are all ok, you may have damaged the Body Electronic Module (BEM). Get hold of a good code reader and check for BEM fault codes. Or get an ELM327 with a Ford Switch and a USB interface as ELM327 USB Modified For Ford ELMconfig latest HS-CAN Switch CH340 Chip Converted | eBay and Forscan for Windows What's new Or just try swapping BEMs Genuine Ford / Bosch suits BA BF Falcon Body Electronics Module Control Unit BEM | eBay noting a replacement BEM will need to programmed to the car type (base model, versus premium series, versus, taxis and police etc) and data copied from the old BEM and the key fobs paired with the new BEM.

      Electronic diagnostic tools won't tell you a lot about valves, rings and bearing etc. They will tell you about ignition and fuel injection issues. With those internal engine component items items you are back to full or partial teardowns with physical examinations and old fashioned diagnostic tools such as vacuum gauges and compression (or better if you have a comprssor, leak-down testers).

      If you do want to use electronic code readers etc on the AU Forscan (see https://forscan.org/download.html) using a widows based laptop with this OBDLink® EX - OBD2 Adapter For ELM327 & FORScan or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094Z7PBLS or (and less so) a USB ELM327 with a Ford Switch (e.g. ELM327 USB Modified For Ford ELMconfig latest HS-CAN Switch CH340 Chip Converted | eBay) . Avoid the wireless and wifi based tools as they are much slower and suffer from connectivity issues.


      If price is no object I prefer the Autel range (see Autel Australia and Autel MK906BT MS906BT OBD2 All Systems Diagnostic Scanner Tool ECU KEY Coding | eBay but these (even this one Autel AL619 Car OBD2 SRS ABS Diagnostic Scanner Fault Code Reader Scan Tool | eBay ) all are an overkill for an AU.
