marty21 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Hi all, i'm looking for some advice...I have a 2006 Mondeo Edge 5 door hatch mark3, I was in the local breakers today and the have a 2002 mk3 Ghia x with a leather interior,heated/electric seats and all the door cards, can anyone advise on the following queries?1. My Mondeo has manual rear windows,how easy would it be to change these to electric as the interior comes with rear door cards with electric window switches?2.My front seat has basic powered up and down movement, the Ghia interior has full movement controls, would I have wiring issues trying to swap these over?3. How easy would it be to wire up these replacement seats to work as heated seats,my car a small coin/card holder where the 2 seat switches should go? 4 is it best to try get a facelift interior 5 As i am up in sunny scotland i wish ,has any members in the lanarkshire/glasgow area done this swap that could help me Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppeter7 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 you would have to change the rear window regulators from manual to electric,which might mean replace door loom to.just check under seats for connection sockets as there colour coded.discounnect battery as ur be messing around with airbag moduals which might put on airbag light 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegtuk Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 rear windows is here fairly easy to do as ive done it myself http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Rear_electric_windows_-_Retro_Fit the heated seats would also need switches putting in and it may or may not have the wiring looms for it in place, alot of facelifts had wiring taken out. the movement depends on what looms are in place under the seat. Facelift interior will still have the same problem wiring wise, it depends on what looms are in, if it comes to it you just wont have heated seats and extra movement in the drivers seat.

stevegtuk Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 you will need to replace the loom that goes from the door pillar into the door. There is a joint in the pillar itself, its a matter of disconnecting the door lock and speaker from the loom and disconnect at the pillar then connect the new loom up to the joint in the pillar then at the other end to the lock, speaker, window switch and window motor. Im not sure about the wiring for the seats.Ive just had a look at pics of facelift dashes to check and it seems to be the centre one that the heated seat switch goes to. all i know is ford had a habit of taking wiring out of some cars but leaving it in others so there may be looms in for rear heated seats too, mine unfortunately doesnt. The ideal example is the footwell lights. In lx models that arent supposed to have them, all they did was leave the wiring in place and not put a bulb in, typical ford if you do manage to fit the seats and wiring and it doesnt work, this may help http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Heated_Seats_Relay_-_Facelift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty21 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 steve , Thank you very much for your advice and support am going to try and source a interior from breakers round about the glasgow area at least i can see when taking doorcards and window switches out how to put them back into my car have seen interiors on eBay but £55/£75 delivery is a bit steep and knowing my luck with eBay would have rips or parts missing thanks martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegtuk Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 theres always this option when it comes to the windows http://www.mondeospares.co.uk/ford-mondeo-mk3-rear-electric-window-set-793-p.asp and maybe interior http://www.mondeospares.co.uk/index.asp?function=search i have heard different reports about mondeo spares, mine was bad but others have been good. just seen this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Mondeo-MK3-2001-2007-LX-Full-Leather-Interior-/261206755498?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cd122c8aa If you find some on eBay close enough to you, you could drive over and pick it up, and make sure its not damaged too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Personally i would stick with the facelift interior for your facelift car - the facelift has adjustable levels for the heated front seats, the pre- facelift does not, also, some of the wiring plugs/ sockets differ pre/ post facelift - (ie- the front seats) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty21 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 i am tending to lean towards trying to getting a face lift interior from some where in glasgow/edinburgh area have seen interioirs on eBay and mondeo spares but i would have to buy door looms and switches seperate to interior from mondeo spares and that would put over £100 onto price of interior and as some have said i dont get chance to look over it before i buy so the hunt is on for the interior at brakers up here have put ad in gumtree and ad trader aswell will keep you posted if and when i get one no doubt to get advice for thge wiring thank you all for advice and help so far Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty21 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Have seen a mondeo st at breakers would this fit my car its a 2006 hatchback same as mines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegtuk Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 As far as i know they should fit, how much are they wanting for it all. If You know the owner and get on with him, you could always say to him to put that car to one side so you can take bits out as you go along and agree a price for the lot. I keep looking for full cars going cheap on eBay or autotrader, then buy the whole car, strip it and put it all in mine and fill the garage up with spares . The only thing stopping me it the cost of insurance, my renewals due in two weeks and im dreading how much its going to be with the mods im declaring so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Have seen a mondeo st at breakers would this fit my car its a 2006 hatchback same as mines Everything fits straight on - there is someone who did an ST replica based on a boggo 2.0L TDCI - if you do the front spoiler/ bumper you will need the "bottom valance" undertray from the ST as its deeper - the rear bumper on the ST-TDCI has a cutout for the exhaust visible on the left- hand side, the ST 220 has a cutout on both sides for the twin exhaust pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in bradford postcode so its extortionate with out any mods, mines due on the 15th so going to ring round for prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
