Hi A Selespeed issue, but I can't find anything similar on any of the forums. I have a 2005 GT Selespeed that won't start. This all started after driving to work through heavy rai and being unable to start the car 8 hours later when I finished work. When I use MES to check for errors, the engine ecu reports U1701 which seems to mean no communication with Sele ecu over the CANbus. MES won't connect to the Sele ecu; when I check the Body computer, it says the Sele ecu is defined but not found. I've cleaned the gearbox earth, checked the fuses and relays, which all seem OK. I've checked the multi-pin plug, cleaned it and replaced it with no result. I've charged the battery (less than 1 year old) and tried another fully charged battery without any success. When I open the driver's door after connecting the battery, the pump primes and a high pitch tone sounds which I think is the alarm for a sele fault. Gear N shows on the dash until I turn the key to MAR at which point the gear indicator goes blank. I'm all out of ideas; anyone any thoughts? Thanks
