LizP Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hi, I am on your sister new Puma forum and was looking for help.Does the Fiesta have a red LED to show when the alarm is set and if so where is it? A similar post on our page has yielded no answers and there is no mention in the handbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If you are talking Mk 8, no it doesn't. Baffled me for ages when I first got mine!😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I've had 2006, 2009 and 2013 models and they all had the red light to show the alarm was on. My current 2017 model doesn't. I wonder why Ford dropped this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they'd only dropped it for the Mk 8, not the very latest Mk 7.5. I did ask when I got my car and the dealer didn't really know either, but suggested that it was originally to warn off potential thieves, but now alarms are universal it wasn't needed anymore. I used to find it a useful way of confirming that I'd locked the car! Whatever, I guess it's saved Ford a few pennies!😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Strangely enough, Roger, I didn't even notice until I read this thread.😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Good job they left it off, that flashing LED would drain the battery even more quickly! 🤭 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On all the Fiestas I've owned I've never had a problem with it. Although on the 2013 Titanium, when I first had it the stop start didn't work and I had a new battery fitted under warranty. That didn't cure the problem though. A new battery monitoring module did. I was surprised that Fords didn't try that first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizP Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Thanks everyone, so I think the answer is the Puma doesn't have one either but no one really knows why!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
