Unfortunately the mechanic you spoke to was correct, a lot of Ford products had a bad run of power steering pumps. They notoriously leak and causes the pump to whine when steering.

The airbag system does not depend on a fuse, the power come directly off the ECM, the battery MUST be disconnected when working on the airbag system. The only fuse involved in part of this system is fuse #5 in the passenger compartment fuse box. It should be a 10 AMP mini fuse, red in color and that just protects the occupancy sensor and the passenger airbag de-activation lamp.

Try disconnecting both battery terminals and touching them together. This will drain any power remaining in the system and can sometimes help reset any crashed ECUs. Reconnect both terminals and attempt a restart. Also, make absolutely sure that you have no other car keys or RFID tags on your keyring. These can interfere with your vehicle's immobilizer system and render it useless. If you have tried this and if it doesn't resolve the issue then you may have an issue with the ignition switch pickup coil which reads the RFID signals in your keys.

have your battery checked. its prob the issue. your bad alternator can ruin a battery by under charging it.

charge lights work from a current flow either from the battery to the alternator or from the alternator to the battery. the opposing current flows will put the light out when each unit has the same voltage . So if the light is still on after the alternator has been replaced there are 2 checks to do . Check that the alternator is in fact charging correctly (dc voltage as well as 14 volts and next check is to see if the battery is any good and that the terminals are clean and tight. Best have it checked out at an accredited auto electrical shop.

the p1000 is a system readiness code meaning the car is checking itself..it means its not finished etc but once it has the code will change to p1111..meaning system check completed, the c1165 is a abs or wheel speed code, check the wheel where this code is originating

the 1582 code is a flight recorder code meaning that at some point one of the following has happened: the inertia switch has been triggered,throttle body signal has triggered the limp mode,the engine starts but stumble and then shuts off,or engine fail to start,or a engine stall has occured.This is what causes this code.If the issue was resolved,clear the code becuae it can become permanent and although the car will run fine the code will be there without a mil showing.

It's either leaking around the oil pan plug (which is either loose or over-tightened and stripped out) or it's leaking around the oil filter. It's not uncommon for the gasket from the old filter to stick to the engine block and not allow the new filter to snug up tight.

check there switch and wiring to switch , located on gear box there wont be many switch's too choose from an will only have two wires going into connector , you might check the fuse box as rev lights may be on a shared fuse
