Tell us all what exactly you think an 'immobiliser' is and does. Then tell us why you think yours is faulty.

I have a 2010 ford fucus it only starts when it wants too. I've replaced relay starter is good battery is good. HELP
What happens when you attempt to start it?
Does it ‘turn over’?
Does it ‘fire’ - ie appear to ignite fuel but not run?
If you turn the lights on and try, what happens?
Everything comes on . As I said sometimes it starts onther times nothing at all no turn over nothing but all lights come on . Crazy 🤪

Bad connection to the starter motor, or to the starter solenoid, or bad solenoid itself? Or could it be the ignition key, if there are separate contacts for the starter solenoid? Does it start if you do a 'bump start'.
If you turn the head lights on and try to start it, what happens?
You made no mention of lights before. Big difference. We’re not psychic.

The starter relay could be sticking or the relay contacts failing.
The relay is in the fuse box in the engine compartment
When it fails to start next time try tapping the top of Relay with the handle of a screwdriver and then try and restart the car.
R8 (relay 8) = ignition R13 (relay 13) = starter

I’m trying to discover if he means headlights or dashlights ( ignition etc).
He isn’t giving enough information.
