I just replaced my evaporator on my 2017 Expedition el platinum. Therefore I removed both front seats, the center console, and the dash. I put everything back together and didn't have any issues.

When reconnecting the battery the headlights came on and the interior lights came on along with lights on the dash and the speedometer. The 2 screens on each side of the speedometer did not come on. Pushing the start button I can hear relays clicking down in the passenger footwell but nothing happens, no start.

I went back and checked every plug and harness and everything is plugged in and looks good. I checked the park switch on the shifter and it is working. I tested a normally open connection between red and black and a normally closed connection between blue and black. Both contacts are switching. I do not have power on any of the 3 wires on the park switch (red, blue, or black). I'm not sure if I should have power or not but I would think there should be power somewhere. I do have +12v at the white wire in the shifter harness. I have checked every fuse in the passenger foot well and they are all good.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The battery died while I was troubleshooting. It is charging now. I plan to try to connect with Forscan tomorrow morning to see if that gives any clues.

Did you check your grounds?
Sounds like a grounding issue.....also check main power cable to the passenger kick panel fuse box....

I check the grounds in the passenger kick panel. I think those are the only ones removed. They are attached securely. The main power cable also is in place down there.

I found a code P2610 but I'm not sure where to go from there....

Ok, it looks like nothing can communicate with the body control module and the BCM shows an error in Forscan.
