mike8boro Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi there, I've just got a 2010 fiesta Titanium and I was hoping someone on here can tell me what the red ball is on the top centre of the dash board? I can find anything anywhere to tell me what it is or what it does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Does it flash when the cars locked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike8boro Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 No, I thought it might of had something to do with the alarm but a red light flashes near the dash clocks with the doors locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Don't hold me to this, I'm sure someone else will be along with a decent answer soon, but I believe it's something to do with the climate control, sunlight sensor rings a bell.

mike8boro Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yeah thanks that sounds like what it can be . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieFarlie Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I have one on both my other cars and always thought it was the sensor for the auto lights ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Auto headlights and wipers are both in a unit attached to the rear view mirror, that little thing's for the climate control :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 +1 for climate control sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick78 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thought the climate sensor lived behind the four small slots to the right of the centre console behind the wheel My Zetec has got the box behind the mirror (no wiring coming from it) and this ball but hasn't got auto wipers/headlights or auto climate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike8boro Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Do anyone think it's anything to do with the radio or bluetooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Do anyone think it's anything to do with the radio or bluetooth? Nope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just to settle this, it is indeed a sensor for climate control ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
