I had come to that conclusion :-( However given that the original shock sensor is not in the feed circuit I may just fit the new one and wire it independently. That way I get to have a shock sensor again, but one I can find and monitor. Meanwhile I can get a a lot of the suspect wiring and w

Alarms normally break 2 circuits, one is usually the starter and the other is usually the ignition feed at the ignition switch because it’s easy to access. If you are fitting an alarm properly you should break something harder to bypass (breaking the ignition circuit can just be bypassed by conne

OK, so the chances are the loom is Mk3. The engine is a 2l Mondeo, the lights are the Morette mod and the loom is a shambles, I've found three extra fuses in the cabin and several more in the engine bay. I do also have an alarm - fitted by a prior owner. I was wondering about that being the

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. Jim From: jul...@cityaudioservices.

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 th

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

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 p
