I was just wondering if somebody has grafted in a Mk4 loom, though why you
would do that unless you were fitting a Mk4 dash i don’t know.
There are various fuses and relays added to the side of the main fusebox
depending on the options and spec of the car.

A thought. I have noticed that the fuse box/relay holder is different from the
Haynes photo. It does not have the three fuses to the right of the relay tray
(ie hidden from view unless the tray is unhitched and dropped down, it only has
the extension on the left. I assumed this was merely that Haynes simply showed
one model with and ignored the variant without.
I don't know if that may be relevant.

That part number is too new to have come from the donor car.
Has this car got a Mk4 or Mk5 Fiesta dash fitted ?

Hi
Further investigation is proving tricky. Having removed the connector and so
gained access to the loom wiring I can find no link from the fuse (F19) to the
connector and no link from the connector to the now cut feed wire to the pump
(there being a temporary positive feed to the pump to keep it going). Both
should exist. None of the three wires connect to ground or indicate power at
any time.
The only explanation I can think of is that the unit was problematic and it
has been short circuited and it is that connection which has failed. My problem
of course is I have no idea where that might be. So the hunt will go on.
Incidentally the unit is certainly the impact sensor. I managed to read the
part number and found one on e-bay and despite it being from a Ka it is
identical - except mine does not have the red button, just a hole where the red
button should be! So perhaps that explains the disconnection theory. It broke
so it was dispensed with. Anyway, I have the e-bay unit on order.
The part incidentally is F2AB-9341-AA.
Now I just have to find the bodge.
Regards and thanks for all the help

Inertia switches are readily available from breakers, Ebay etc. Most are
3 pin but often connector only uses 2 of the pins.
The one I fitted in my saloon came from a Ford Fusion, Fiesta or similar
(the type with yellow top).
If you get one from breakers best to get complete with male connector
plug and short section of wiring harness - this make it easy to wire into
existing loom. Failing that you need to make connector plug - easy enough -
most are 3 way AMP connector.
In my setup I also installed a bypass switch and a dashboard warning led
to show if inertia switch has been triggered (this requires 3rd wire
connection).

Hi
I have found an air bag sensor (though there are none in the car of
course) and close by another potential suspect - see attached. It's the right
sort of size but has three connections where the manual says two, although one
appears at least to be the right colour code. Also it has no reset button.
However what it does have at the top is a cylinder which might once have been
the housing for a plunger.
I haven't yet tried testing anything like circuit tracing because the
plastic of the connector look easy to break. If it is the right unit, I will
attempt to remove it and see if it can be reset.
Alternatively do you know if a replacement might be obtained?

I'm assuming from what I can see on the web it's likely to be a small
flattish black box.
Fingers crossed I can find it.
Thanks as ever for the help

Julian,
Not sure about a standard location, but I think the wiring would
naturally position this in the passenger foot well area. Mine was attached to
the chassis door pillar in the passenger foot well.

Hi
My H4 cut out unexpectedly at the MoT garage after being driven
into the brake test equipment which involved the car being grounded! Looking at
the circuit diagram there are several potential reasons why this happened, most
of which I know how to diagnose and where to look. But one possible potential
problem is the impact sensor which is shown in the Haynes manual.
Does anyone know if these are usually refitted in an H4 and if so
is there a 'standard' location? It might help me locate it without having to
dismantle the entire vehicle. If anyone has a photo of the actual unit I'm
looking for, that would also help.
Thanks
