Vauxhall Insignia will not start, battery ok, no starter clicking either, possible ecu or can bus i think? any ideas?

Car: Vauxhall Insignia
Variant: 2.0 ecoflex sports tourer
Model Year: 2014
Categories: Engine & DrivetrainElectrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
i parked it up the other day and i went to open the boot and the external switch stopped working then when i went to it the next day to drive it wouldnt start at all, all dash lights come on but no coil light at all bu the immobiliser light comes on but goes off and doesnt flash, had rac out and say its a wire from fuse box to ecu, then an auto electrician tested again and said ecu or can bus he thinks, i have had another car powering it on its own and in addition to my battery but still will not attempt to turn over, i feel as though the car has a loss in communication somewhere which has made the immobiliser light come on and thats why it isnt allowing it to start
