I have an 08 Escape that the dash lights come on and will start after sitting. however once started the dash lights all light up like the instrument cluster looses communication, at which point niether the tach nor the speedometer function correctly and if you shut it off during this time the vehicle will not restart. the theft light at the time of restarting will come on and flash repeatedly.
SOURCE: abs warning light on 02 ford escape
check the abs rings on the axles they have a tendency to crack and will set a light. does the vehicle have remote start? Is it an aftermarket system?
SOURCE: Installed used dash cluster, now
This is about THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM is armed when the battery is disconnected; this system provides an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle’s engine can only be started with the two coded keys provided with your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the coded key is read by the anti-theft system. If the key identification code matches the code stored in the anti-theft system, the vehicle’s engine is allowed to start. If the key identification code does not match the code stored in the system or if a coded key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the vehicle’s engine will not operate. To disarm check your Owners Manual, page 86 and next (clisk here to view and download this DOCUMENT )
Hope helps.
