Never seen those connections work loose, must have clocked up over 250k over the years with all our Omegas, never opened fuse box on some of them!

Gearbox fault? What's the relevance here? Nothing to do with engine bay fuses

No joy as in not starting? Double check basics make sure the transponder is in the key, but sounds like you need a code reader.

Might be worth dropping a PM to Elite Pete or DarthLooKnee they maybe able to assist
