    You may need to reset the 'one touch' window opening/closing but that take two minutes. There isn't any radio codes etc. on your model.

    You will need to reset the BMS once the new battery is fitted. Remember to fully charge the new battery for at least 12 hours before fitting.

    Not sure on that. I thought it was pat your head 3 times while rubbing your tummy 5 times 🤣

    See posts below, it will be either method 1 or 2. Just have a look at the style of your light switch/fog light and it will be apparent which method is for your car.

    I think the later cars are the Main Beam method because some American cars don't have Fog Lights so Ford have changed.
