This runs over the battery, so had to have been disconnected earlier. If after reseating you still have the same fault, replace the trackpad flex cable. Although called the trackpad flex cable, when defective the trackpad and keyboard fail, although the keyboard power switch still functions. The cable does fail regularly in normal use, so  after disconnecting to replace the battery it's even more likely to have failed. Third party trackpad cables for the MBPr 13" 2015 are widely available. It should be a quick cheap fix. As you are in the UK Replace Base sell as do other sources.</p></blockquote><p></p>
