Ben87 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm trying to fit some powerfold mirrors to my Mondeo, I've installed them the wiring is all there the puddle lights works but the mirrors don't fold there just folded in. I've put the relay in what I thought was the right relay holder (brown holder under fuse box) didn't work! Could I just not have the right relay? Has anyone got any pictures of where the relay holder is? Any help would be greatly appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezza Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The relay is 5 pin and the part number is 1S7T-17L684-AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Cheers for the help guys, so it's a brown relay? I put a relay in today ( was hoping it would work) and it didn't. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gforce Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 ... but the mirrors don't fold there just folded in. You've confused me a bit here... So they're folded in and won't come back out? Have you fitted the proper mirror switch and are using it properly, i.e. pressing it down to fold them both in and out? It's a brown relay and holder under the fusebox as you say as you say. Is the relay new? Always a chance the relay's a dud I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Cheers Tezza I think that's what I'm gonna have to get. Gforce - they came already folded ( sorry I should of explained that better) I'm starting to think I've just not used the right relay, it was one I took out of another Mondeo I was breaking.

gforce Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ah right, get you now... and just to confirm you've fitted the proper folding switch on the inside of the door too? This one, that you push DOWN to operate the mirrors? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-MONDEO-MK3-POWERFOLD-ELECTRIC-WING-MIRROR-SWITCH-2004-2007-/221403909924?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item338cb38f24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yes mate, I got that switch with the mirrors and the wiring looms too but I didn't need the looms for the doors. I think I've just got carried away and hoped any relay would work. I'm gonna get the proper relay try that and hope for the best :-) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Is there 2 different types of relay for the powerfold wing mirrors? The one on the pic on here looks like a brown relay but the ones on eBay look black and slightly smaller?

BigD Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'm almost certain that the correct brown relay actually says "POWERFOLD RELAY" on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah I knew they had it written on I was going off the picture a seller had put on on eBay and it looked different that's why I was asking Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezza Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 It's brown and the part number has to be 1S7T 17L684 AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Thanks for the help guys will get it ordered on Friday and hopefully that will solve the problem Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Did you get this sorted yet mate? I wired mine up last night to fold with the double-lock press on the key fob, works a treat! Great sense of satisfaction when a wee mod like that comes off, all for the grand total of £1.99 for an extra relay! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yes mate got it sorted cheers. I refitted the mirrors on my dinner yesterday and popped the relay in and they worked a treat. Im gonna do the same mod as you soon with getting them working with the key fob. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 That's good to hear mate, glad all is working well! I just followed the wiki guide for the key fob function and it was really straightforward. I tried to leave as much in situ as possible, as I've a bad knack for breaking plastic retaining clips, so it was a bit fiddly trying to get access for scothclocking the wires from the new relay to the respective wires on the GEM and existing powerfold relay, but apart from that, dead easy. I attached the 4 wires to the relay terminals on the bench in the shed first, just to minimise the faffing about in the footwell! The only thing I did differently then from the guide was the earthing point...there's a bolt on the right hand side and I just fitted the ring terminal over this and screwed a little 10mm nut over it to secure it in place, rather than drill into the metal support bar that runs across behind the dash. Sure just give us a shout if you've any probs or questions when you get round to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Cheers mate, will give you a shout if I get stuck, I think I'll be doing this mod in the next couple of weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Does anyone know what the relay holder is for behind the fuse box under the glovebox? Just curious to what it's for Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The blue one? Headlight washers, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 It's a brown relay holder mate, not sure if there is any difference? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Pretty sure that's the one for heated seats mate. Have you not got yours wired up? I think from your build thread that you have the half leather/alcantara heated/cooled seats from a Titanium so I assumed you had them fully working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben87 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yeah their the seats mate but when I got the car the previous owner had completely butchered the wiring under the seats, cut the plugs off and had put terminals on each wire instead.....badly! They worked but the airbag light was always on. Luckily I bought a mondeo of a mate and I kept the plugs from it to wire into mine just not got round to it yet. If that's what that relay holder is for then that's a bonus :-). Sent from my KFJWI using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Ah jeez, that sounds like a bad job! Why?! They should have been a direct fit...ah hang on, I'm just realising that there were full leathers fitted before, so this is when the butchering was done... With a set of donor plugs it should be no problem, just wiring up the matching coloured wires like for like. What sort of heated seat switch have you got fitted at the minute then, just the pre-facelift on-off one? If so then there will unfortunately have been a bit of butchering to wiring behind this too probably unfortunately... The seats you have at the minute should have been a direct plug and play, with the dash loom and floor looms all in place. I did this on my old ZS, fitted the same heated/cooled interior from an 07 TitX, then just fitted the relay and the variable heated/cooled switch (complete with the proper little mounting bracket ring!) and hey presto as all the required plugs and wiring looms were already in place.

Ben87 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yeah I'm assuming that the previous owner bought the seats with the plugs already cut off and thought he'd have a go himself without doing it properly. Yep just the pre-facelift switch in when I got the car but I got the newer heated/cooling switch when I got the other Interior. Haha and your right there was butchering to the wiring for that too, there was only ever power to the switch when the lights were on!!! Just need the relay and the mounting bracket for the switches really now, any chance you could shed some light on these please? ;-) Sent from my KFJWI using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
