What could cause a car no start, dash lights twitching and P2610 code?
What is your question?
I have a 2014 Ford Focus (SE hatchback). While I was driving, the steering wheel became hard to turn and I started losing power. I parked and a bunch of lights started going off at once. I can only remember the ABS, traction system and check engine light. The car died and all of the dash icons startes to twitch with a clicking noise. Then the check engine light stayed on and I got a message that said Transmission fault service. I got a jump and was able to turn the wheel and get it parked but as soon as the car was disconnected, it died. During several restarts, it went from twitchinh dash lights to now absolutely nothing. I got a code reader and it came up with P2610 and suggested the ECM be reset. I did that by removing/replacing the fuses and the battery terminals and there is still no response. It does nothing when turned.

Whoa! That's not fun and pretty dangerous as well! It sounds like a voltage issue to me. The flickering lights and loss of power point to a possible alternator failure. You 'd have to get it diagnosed to be sure, but it may be the place to start!
