jace1969 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 When you look at the front its to the right,it is like on a clip and is hard to see or find. Its where you can see the screw hole where i have taken the screw out,up there on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesarpelayojr Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I found the main loom wire, bu it doesnt have a separate wire for it. It separate downwards but those are connected and the shape doesnt match it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawood Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Hello, I just registered on this site to post and say thank you for this thread. I have successfully installed an ESP switch on my 2010 Titanium Fiesta. Twice I've been stuck in a muddy field and snowed in road, hopefully not anymore. The steps at the top of this thread worked perfectly, found the switch for £15 on eBay. Take care prising the climate control panel off, it has some stubborn clips either side. Mixed messages online about this being possible on Titaniums, it was on mine! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveyeu Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Before I go taking the trim to pieces, does anyone know if the 2010 Zetec TDCi has the wiring in place to fit the switch? (part number 1514081) Also anyone have the photos or a photo of where the clips are what pieces of trim to actually remove etc, given that the link to the german forum is dead?

Sawood Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 steveyeu it may not be the opening post but near the top of this thread is a set of useful steps and guidance that I followed without the German site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveyeu Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Trim is all apart but struggling to see any sort of wire such as those mentioned. My vehicle has got ESP but can't find the cable. Edit: Scrap that. Found it. Didn't realise it was so obvious thought that it was another wire plugged into something at first. Doh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I needed to buy my ESP + front airbag switch, since disabling ESP is not officially an option for my (bottom spec) car the local official Ford dealer (T C Harrison in Derby) had to go out to the car park to note down the registration number of a Titanium model then do a search on the Ford system against that reg no. The price was not a lot so I stuck with getting a genuine Ford part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJC Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 3 hours ago, hocvd83 said: Hi, where can i buy switch front parking ? You can't buy the switch seen above, Ford do not supply it as an option. The option s Ford do are ESP switch Passenger airbag ESP + passenger airbag Parking sensors Passenger airbag + parking sensors Coin holder The only way to get the switch above it to modify two switches to make one, as in the guide I created. NOTE: Unlike the ESP wires that are on most cars wiring loom, Front / rear parking sensors are NOT installed as standard, adding the switch alone will not give you parking sensors if they were not fitted to your car at build time.

The ESP disable was wired in most Ford Fiestas, (certainly everyone who has tried I think has found it wired) and just tells the computer to disable the ESP, thats the same in every car. The Parking sensors were an option at build time, There may be wiring in place but without the rest of the hardware it may not work. The hardware might be there, some cars had some of the cruise control and folding wing mirror wiring and hardware in place despite it not being an option, however not every car did. You'd need to try and locate the sensors and the box that beeps before you start altering the loom, however its getting beyond my level of competence playing with the wiring.. Good Luck in your search... , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yunii Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 For example on my focus mk2.5 Titanium it has esp which can be disable via searching thru info stalk to show on speedo cluster. But i fitted an esp button ( purely for show purpose) which apart from illumenating does absolutely nothing. As it was option only on the St225. So not necessarilly it would work.Going back to mk7 fiesta on mine it does not have esp listed in the option menu in order to enable/disable. As its permanently switched on.YuniiSent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunii Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk My car is a 2010 Econetic Fiesta, (Mk7 pre facelift) and I think all the fiestas in the range other than the Zetec S, have no way to disable the ESP via the stalk or the radio's menu option. Unlike the Focus there simply is not a menu option to disable it. The ESP disable button was a "feature" on the Zetec S model. The only way to disable ESP on any other model (even the higher grade Titanium's) it is to buy, fit and use this switch *if* the wiring is there. Most people on this thread have found the wiring is there, and fitting the ESP disable switch seems to work for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hocvd83 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thank you! This is my car. i live in Ha Noi, VietNam. Ford vietnam has cut wire connection. From switch parking front connector to bcm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJC Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Yours looks to be a 7.5 (ie Mk 7 facelift). I can' t see any parking sensors at the front, you should see 4 x 2cm circular sensors if they are fitted, two in the lower grill, two embedded in the bumper. The cable may not be connencted as the hardware is not in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
