so trying to scan the car but no communication and measuring resistance between pin 6 and 14 gives 120 ohms, tries pulling all the modules i can find with the battery disconnected and no change, any suggestions?

I'm completely the wrong person to be answering this but when you say it's not communicating with the diag machine is that at all regardless of the ignition switch position only my launch reader gets confused if the car is not in the run position engine on or off?

A couple of questions - is the car a UK/Europe market model or a gray market import & what scanner are you using?
Depending on which market the car was built for it may not be OBDII compliant - my 2021 will not communicate with an OBDII scanner but it will talk to an elm327 & sz viewer, and also works with my Launch 919

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Pin 6 is CAN Hi and 14 is CAN lo, AFAIK (which isn't a great deal) the CAN bus is terminated each end with 120 ohm resistors, so across the CAN bus you should read 60 ohms with everything powered down and asleep.
(Unless the OBD is a completely separate CAN bus and the dongle terminates with the other 120 ohms...)
I'd try a different OBD dongle, and if that doesn't work scope out pin 14 & 6, but I think we can assume communication is possible on the CAN bus, or the car wouldn't work.
