Hi all,

I have just changed the starter motor on my Fiesta MK6 and whilst removing the old one, this cable came off.  There is only a limited amount of movement as its housed in a cable tidy with little stretch.  I've had a good look round above and below the engine but I can't see anywhere obvious it may have come from.  Please can you help identify it?

Thanks.

J.

    Just had a reply from a guy on an other forum suggesting it is the oil pressure sending unit.  Any idea where this might plug in please?

    Oil pressure switch is on the front of the engine block, just under the starter iirc.  I don't recognise that plug though so may not be that.

    Thanks for your help.  It was just behind the oil filter.  I managed to reconnect it.  I hadn't seen where it came off from as it was set far back.  Car is starting now so I'm pleased.  Thanks for all your help.

    I certainly have! There are still a few issues to sort out but I'm very pleased it's working again.  Thanks again.
