2014 ford kuga wont start 2 new batteries later back in garage still not going

You need just push the clips into the filter line until the barbs on the inside are compressed and just pull the line from the filter. Push it all the way in till it stops at the flange of the clip. If that wont work you need to acquire the plastic tool to do so.

I would let Ford back that up. Since u brought to them already and your problem wasn't resolved speak to the service manager (as a paying consumer!) I've seen it a million times.

You're going to need to plug it into tester to sort this. Don't change things by guesswork

First check the battery voltage with a multi meter the voltage should be around 12.53 v if it is lower then 12v the cars Bsi unit wont wake as the Canbus electronic system is power hungry.

If the Battery voltage is correct then check the main fuses under the engine compartment and then check the interior fuses for a possible blown fuse. As the main system function are not working then the cause will most certainly be a blown higher amp fuse 30 amp / 60 amp which protects the starting and charging circuits.

OK different model but at least one other ford car owner is confirming that car will not open with key dead battery.

I suggest using a little effort on the key. Do not break the key!!!.
In the following forum the owner indicated a different feel as if the mechanical lock was maybe interacting with the anti theft system!!

I O course make sure you have the right key!!! whi knows keys can get mixed up.

Dead Battery Door Locks Inoperative Ford Fusion Hybrid

If the battery is dead I might consider searcing under the car for the starter motor battery connection and charging the battery. Least risk.

Opening hood with jimmy tool is possible. I would find a similar Edge and practice with the hood jimmy tool with the hood open before I would tear up the finish trying to open the hood

With the VIN number in hand I might go back to dealer and confirm key!!!

Good Luck

1st point check the battery.

check ujoints they crunch when going bad and also check your wheel bearings.

u have triped the anti theft and may have to go as far as puttinig old radio back in

Did your mechanic use a DRB III or equivalent scanner before performing the bleeding procedure after installing the master cylinder? This is a requirement by the manufacturer (Chrysler) when bleeding the brake system.
