johnH Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 i had this fault...if your battery is good and your alternator is good i bet my right nut on the smart charge cable on either the red or blue cable...mine was the blue cable in the wheel arch.

johnH Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 yeah apparently those cable suffer an internal death...aka corroding from inside out. well this is true to the mondeo, focus and transit (more commonly reported on transit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
