I had to fit a reversing camera to my focus and I'm sure the wire is green and yellow striped like an earth cable. that was on a hatchback not to sure were the wire will be on a estate but should be the same colour.

Hi,

I have just fitted a towbar to my hatch so have studied the wiring diagrams for the rear lights at length. The wires for the reverse light seem to be different on the estate as the reverse light is a separate unit on the hatch in the bumper where on the estate it is a part of the L/H rear light cluster (I think). I have just checked and according to my Haynes book the wire leading to the rear L/H light cluster for the reverse light is Green/Black. Please double check this by checking the wire which leads to the bulb holder for the reverse light to confirm. Also my Haynes book only covers up to 54 plate.

I hope this helps.

Hi, I have fitted a towbar to my 1999 Focus Estate Ghia model, but not fitted the electrics yet.

Does anyone have details of the wiring diagram for the above model? Looking in the back left of the car the wiring goes through to a bunch of plastic cable connectors (3 of them) and one is 'empty' (3 wires attached to half a connnector) I don't know what this is for?

I recently helped my brother-in-law fit tow bar electrics to his Mondeo hatchback but it is significantly different to the Focus.

Thanks,

Steve

Hiya,

I just bought a 2013 Mark 3 Focus Estate, and want to fit reverse parking light sensor.. I think fitting the sensors will be simple - but are there already marks on bumper on the inside, when I drop the bumper, so I don't have to meaure where I position the sensors?

Also all the guides seem to state to tap into live wire of the reverse lights, however all the examples are for the normal hatch back.  In the Estate, the reverse lights are in the  tailgate, so would seem to pass through the tube at top of tail gate near the roof.  How do I trace where the reverse light wire is to tap into. I was hoping I could do it near the rear lights, so its easy to find a place to earth the unit as well.

Many thanks

Andy
