Tech FAQs dont work with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Use an alternative browser such as firefox, chrome or opera.

Dunno! if i forward link from my mobile to desktop email it opens using internet explorer no probs ,as do the last few topics ,just not the earlier ones, always used to .

Personally I suspect that something broke when the site fell over a while back

[newgas]

I will try using another browser.

Thanks

Well I have managed to get the loom out and was getting ready to solder the wiring when a friend said he'd found a whole loom out of a galaxy from the breakers yard he works at.

The loom is in very good nick which is surprising , main reason I did'nt go myself to a breakers was that I was under the presumtion second hand ones would be all the same with the same probs.

Lucky me I guess,, The loom is from the other side of the car ie. offside passenger should'nt make a difference iir. the connections will need some kind of contact cleaner as the have been in the car for a wee while , anyone recommend anything for this?

1 question regarding the BSi unit, (this friend has also managed to get hold of a BSI unit out of a galaxy) will it need de-coding/programming at ford garage or not and how much do they charge ? if anyone knows.

Ford Know as much about the galaxy as as i know about footbal zero ask on here what exactly are you trying to achieve ?

^{I managed to get the 'other'loom in today and it looks good so far , the other side has only 2 wires that need attention, so I may just splice them in situ,}

^{The question left is if I install a BSI unit from another galaxy then does it require programming etc.? If so how much does this cost to do, as it's probably only a ford garage that can do it?}

^Thanks

By BSi unit, I assume you mean the Body Control Module. Problems with these are extremely rare, and faults are almost always due to the the wiring on the car.

 

Replacing sections of loom for untested secondhand parts seems like a lot of work to me, with the risk of introducing further unrelated problems. If you can localise the faults, which are normally concentrated in a small number of areas on the Galaxy, the best fix is to splice in new flexible cables to replace the damaged parts, using solder joints and shrink sleeving, preferably the glue lined type.

 

Also note that the loom and electrical systems were completely changed during the '98 model year, and the loom and modules fitted to '95-'98 vehicles are very different to '98-on models.
