rusper Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Posted June 3, 2015 Next report, due to the fact that I realy need the car to transport my two dogs around I have rigged a temporary supply from the big red wire via a 5 Amp fuse to C7/7 now all working. I would still like to find the real fault so that I can do a propper repair, but at least I have the car to use for now.Thanks to everyone that gave their time to help me.PS found the splice in the passenger foot well area, seems that the wires are presure welded not just twisted, but not a good solution to the problem, how they got that past the German QA team beats me! Was OK so re-taped it.Brian Quote
SilverBeast Posted June 3, 2015 Report Posted June 3, 2015 C7 Pin 7 is fed from F100 a 3A fuse in the Battery Junction Box. The bottom purple fuse here. It should be a continuous Red/Black wire to the plug on there too Quote
rusper Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Posted June 3, 2015 That's great Mr Beast, will look tomorrow, I checked the fuse was OK but will check for corrosion. Due to the slowish onset of the problem it may well be the dreaded wire rot. I will report back.Brian Quote
rusper Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Posted June 4, 2015 OK thanks to all and especialy silverbeast. All now mended a blob of solder and an inch of heatshrink. Just outside of the multi (3way) connector on the engine/battery fuse block, looks as though the insulation had cracked and the conductor corroded away due to moisture ingress. This was on the red/black wire as silverbeast said. I wonder what the local Ford dealer would have charged?Thanks againBrian Quote
