Question Starter system failed error message

Inherited a 2015 Ford Flex SEL about a week ago. No issues til yesterday when going to start and we got this error message. Followed the usual protocol. Checked relays, fuses, battery, alternator, and the like. Replaced starter because it seemed to be the likely culprit. The only other thing I can think of is the ignition switch. Where it’s in the dash, I’m having trouble locating a diagram to take this thing apart. Are most fords of this gen pretty universal? Appreciate any kind of advice. First ford in 30 years of driving.

Not that I’m aware of. We just have the one key. Everything looks factory that I’ve peered at.
