Mk5 mondeo crazy electrical fault

Featured Replies

I have already done a post but no comments yet, I’m a mechanic an never seen this fault before an this is on my own car, the instrument cluster an sync an climate control all stop working an jus go off completely as if iv pushed the start button to turn the car off but the engine is still running an driving fine, i wud of thought If the instrument cluster dies the engine would cut out aswell but it doesn’t it still drives fine, but no electrics inside the car work atall, but the lights an wipers still work , all started when I set the speed limiter on the motorway after about 5 mins the cluster just died, if I turn off the car by pressing the button an turn it back on everything comes back on an works for about 5 seconds then it all goes off again, iv tested the battery an alternator an they are fine an iv scanned the. Eco for faults an no faults stored, my scanner is basic so I can’t access anything else apart from codes, read an delete an iv checked fuses they all seem fine

Thanks mate appreciate all the help 

Most generic code scanners/readers will not show Ford specific DTC's.

If you use a laptop with FORScan software it is almost as good as having the real Ford dealer diagnostics.

No mechanic should be without it.

Hello, has there been any solution to this?  Same error on my car.

Yes, it is very disappointing when posters don't come back with the outcome of things

The OP hasn't been here/signed in since his original post on Feb 13th

I bet Jonro "stole him" over to his empire building site on FB, ha ha

Yes yet another 'One Day Wonder' makes a change from the normal OPW 🤣

Apologies, although I don't remember him even asking the question in the group. I'll go back and check in the log, as I can't actually remember his name 🙈

I just checked, he asked the question in the group and received a lot of replies. It was suggested it was the BCM at fault by someone who had a similar issue. He didn't report back on a fix or not and has since left the group.

Not just a One Day Wonder but also a One Group Wonder 🤣

I have the same problem  my car is a mkv vignale 2015, had 5years waranty and the problem came in 5.5 years, the midconsole turn off right windows, ac and right mirror, i brought it to the dealer and they changed mid console bottons and some ecus, i had to pay 1600€, and the problem came back in 3 days, so i went back to the dealer and they say that they cant fix it, so i drive already 3 years like this, sometimes its working fine like 3 monts and sudenly it comes back, so nobody can help me till today, i will never buy a ford again

 

As mentioned, check BCM for poor connections, faults and/or water ingress damage

Thanks but i have checked and cleaned all contacts and plugs,but no change

Can it be a fault in the bcm? 

Yes or even cluster

The cluster all works only the frost warning is on, the mid cluster is all off and already changed for a new one, also if everyting works forscan give no faults and if the fault is there forscan can not comunicate with the car

Yes thanks in this topic i found the solution
