Usually vehicles with bulb failure circuit will suffer damage if no relay is used, having said that there has been members that have just scotch locked onto the rearlights of the car and had no problems.

Heated Front Screen
chrispb123456 replied to Galaxy newbie's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Hi Andy As Seatkid said seems to much of a coincidence not to be associated with the screen. It may well be where the wiring has been disturbed has caused a problem, there are two live feeds one each side going to the screen and one earth behind the front interior light. -
Engine Cuts Off On Galaxy 1.9td1 130bhp 04
chrispb123456 replied to z ali's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
As already said relay 109 is the power supply relay for engine ecu/injectors Fuel pump relay is marked 53 in position 3 You can normally hear the pump for a second when you first switch ignition on, it only runs for a moment to pressurise the system and sounds like a squelch noise from under the car, if you cant hear anything then it's not working, it may even be a faulty pump or the connections to it. The pump is accessed through a plate in the floor under carpet middle row of seats area. -
I take it thats a D5Z-F controller did you find the problem with it?

A few members including myself have had to change recently from IE to get back full functionality on the forum.

Fuel Gauge Faulty : Mk2
chrispb123456 replied to soldieringon's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Vagcom should tell you if there's a fault with the instrument cluster. Other than that check the connector on the fuel tank unit (there's an inspection plate in the floor (under middle row of seats to access) -
No Oil Pressure After Turbo Change
chrispb123456 replied to Mark & Cath's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
There is a relief in the oil pump and another in the oil filter housing which is usually a bypass for a blocked filter. This could be nothing more than a faulty oil pressure switch but as you already had a problem with the turbo I would definately check pressure first, you could by a gauge and adaptor from Halfords probably cheaper than risk driving to a garage for them to check it. -
No Oil Pressure After Turbo Change
chrispb123456 replied to Mark & Cath's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
After your recent problem with your old turbo I would be inclined to check the actual engine oil pressure with a gauge, you may have oil pump/relief valve problems or partially blocked sump strainer -

How To Avoid Aircon Problems?
chrispb123456 replied to 2004AUY85kwTDI's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Hi and welcome to the forum 2004AUY85kwTDI and steve 1 Apart from the condenser/drier leak (quite common) the aluminium/rubber pipes are suffering fractures, and corrosion, the location of the pipework being low down behind the front grille and through the wheel arch means they are exposed to the rain road dirt and salt/grit in the winter, also a worn out or broken engine stabiser (roll restrictor can fracture the larger pipes from the compressor. Have to agree keeping aircon going all year round will look after the internals, cars with climate control the default setting is auto with the option of using econ mode, I must say that in the rare occation that I used econ there was no noticeable difference to fuel consumption. As for protecting the pipes from corrosion spraying them with something like waxoyl should help but baring in mind that some of the pipes are hidden in the wheel arch and in support clips. -
iirc Mirez was refering to the EGR cooler, this can give coolant loss without the pressurisation, the coolant escapes into the exhaust system

Engine Cuts Off On Galaxy 1.9td1 130bhp 04
chrispb123456 replied to z ali's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Hi Bryan The Hall sensor G 40 is located in the cylinder head behind the timing belt, if you look behind the oil filter you will see two multi plugs one grey and one black. One goes to the cam sensor the other goes to the crank sensor which is just to the right of the oil filter in the block. Hope that helps regards Chris -

109 is the power relay for injectors, when it's faulty will cause the LED on drivers door to flash fast while trying to start. G 40 is related to faulty cam sensor -
Check vacuum supply pipe at servo and vacuum pump, ends of pipe can split/perish causing loss of vacuum to servo. Can also affect operation of turbo boost control.

Wiper Linkage Removal And Regrease.
chrispb123456 replied to suzuki91's topic in Ford Galaxy Technical Section MK I MK II
Hi and welcome to the forum. May well be the wiper stalk thats at fault although that is not that common, check washer pumps for power, the wiper spindes seizing up is quite common, usually stopping and starting randomly, creeping up the screen. The rear washers usually more troublesome, supply pipe becoming detached from inside the tailgate and a joint in the pipe under front passenger floor, telltale signs there are soaking wet carpet in passenger footwell -
