Yup...IIRC..If you unlock the car , but don't open any doors within a set time..(30 seconds i think)..then the car will relock itself.Happens to me loads of times..get to car..unlock..start gassing..it locks itself!.. :D..(better than being pinched coz im yakking. :blink:)

well..i thought they were..been having a gander at the wiring..and just checking all connections..pulled off front bumper and had a gander at all the wires there...also checked whatever wires i could get to without dismantling everything. then they worked....for a bit... now..totally kaput..nowt.nada..nothing.not a beep not a tone nothing.switch doesnt work..nothing. so..i think i might have made it worse. :D but good news....didnt find any splits in any wires. :D so....next step i think..is to check switch.will take HU out..then take it from there...will just have to see what i have to dismantle to get to it.,,,flying by the seat of my pants here.. :blink:

"now if i just enlarge........."

welcome to the club..what sort of gal is it? would be great if you would put her details in your sig. Im sure you can make her come alive again... ;) Again..welcome...dont forget the white coat with straps..sometimes it helps!, :lol: ;) :)

awww thanx..hope you get it sorted without too much hassle. :(

It is ALL the sensors im on about..and when they dont work there is NO sound from the switch.not even a click.

yup checked both rubber thingies..the other has a tube in it which i am presumeing is the washer hose for rear window. Right..just did a school run.got in the car and switched key to position where electrics on..sensors worked. Turned car on and they didnt..drove a bit then stopped and put car into reverse and reversed a couple of feet..put sensors on and they worked untill i parked up and turned car off.when got back in car and turned it on they didnt work.untill i reversed.couldnt see if cc was back lit and couldnt see if reverse lights worked though they did earlier. crossed filament??? wheres the brake light switch?

thanks bigj..very much appreciated. :(

ok..had a look..load of red/yellow....green etcc wires..little i could see of them they looked fine..all wrapped in black sticky tape stuffcould see a few cms of them..separated them as much as i could gently..could see no splits or cracks.

call me thick but i need a picture to work from....otherwise i wont know what im looking at.:(

the inner light wasnt working at all last night but the other was..it is the offside one. Now..can i add whilst im still searching..that when the parking sensors dont work..you press the button and nothing..doesnt even illuminate orange like it should..no beeps..nothing.nary a sound.but then say 15/20 mins later..or longer..it may work....even switching car off then on wont get them to work whrn they arent working.. the cc panel back light only works when the sensors do...other wise it still works...still flashes tho like it has done for months. now..as for wiring looms..i have to know what im looking at....im not allowed to touch unless i know what im doing as last thing i want is to render car unusable, this time of yr i cant afford to put in a garage.....so its diy im afraid.i have today to learn what to check for so i have all day tomorrow to check as other half off work. Ok..found nothing in search that describes my sensors as that is what i searched under..went back all the way to the beginning.when mine dont work..you get nothing..then all of a sudden they will work.

I have a problem..well..3 actually.. 1. The parking sensors work when they want to..sometimes they work more often they dont. 2. My climate control panal back light isnt working when sensors arent but is when sensors are. 3. Same with the inner tail light..went last night whilst out..but when i got home and checked it..it was working along with everything else. Now..ive had a looksie at the relay30/27 from the FAQs..and before i declare the car off road whilst i dismantle the car and rebuild it finding it, could there be anything else that i could try first? thanks. maz.

Just for you..bit long winded...but can be done by yourself. http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.ph...wtopic=7898&hl=

Me..knowledgeable???..wow.... guess i could,,but my charges are pretty steep..now im knowledgeable!! :( :( :lol:

Cheeky git.. :lol: :lol: Just knowledge passed on... ;) :)

Nah..Neil showed me how to do it. :o ..Just happy i could pass on the info and help someone else. :rolleyes:

Glad i could help :rolleyes:

Have sent you pm gandalf.

ok..when sorting linkage out it gets moved a bit when it is being unseized..so when you fit it to the car..very very very carefully you have to make sure that the linkage is in the off position..i.e park..when motor etc is connected and before totally refitting the linkage,turn the key in the car so electrics work, if the linkage is out of sync when the stalk is in park it will move back into park position..you must support the linkage when doing this and in a place where you wont get your fingers trapped!..or you could lose them.!

ok..will do... :rolleyes:

No need for appologies..that is just sks humour. :o we are a mad bunch on here. :rolleyes: :o when i did my linkage ..i knew nothing about anything.... Hmmm... this implies you something about anything! Is that true? :o :D well..if i could understand what you were saying i could answer you ;) :D :P i meant..that when i did my linkage..i was only just learning and didnt know anything about how the car worked etcc..or where things were or how to fix t :D ;) ;) hings.

i can ask on the ffoc if you like as im a member on there aswell (even tho i dont have a focus :rolleyes: :o )

did you make sure the linkage was in the park position when putting back in?have to be careful doing this!
