But there is a brown-blue wire from the Park aid to a one pin connector that goes to the trailer tow module, when fitted. It turns the reverse sensors off when a trailer is attached. Otherwise they beep as soon as you engage reverse gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCoop Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 i have since fitted leds to the rear, Fog, reverse and indicators however they hyperflash i may need a load resistor on each side as my focus doesnt have dedicated relays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCoop Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 any sugestions on how to do it. ive read i need a 4 ohm resistor on each side, like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25W-Golden-Aluminium-Load-Resistor-Wirewound-Various-Values-High-Quality-New/122180980450?hash=item1c728dcee2:m:mhZxUDz3m-jQEjLFGOKMJ7g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 14v (typical running voltage), a 4.7 ohm resistor would do, and since the power is only ever on for 50% of the time or less, the 25W rating would be ok. Those aluminium resistors need bolting to a metal surface to dissipate their rated power, they will get very hot with around 20W being dissipated in them. You can use a well earthed mounting bolt as the ground end for the resistor. A separate resistor is a nuisance to mount and wire, but is actually much better than including the resistor inside the LED Bulbs. LEDs benefit from running cool, and a hot resistor is a very poor companion for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micro Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 these are no good i imafgine, so the resistors are working all the time or just when flashing?Nope that is at best a 1/2w resistor. You need a big "power" resistor normally come in large rectangular metal or ceramic casings. You'll need to look at a datasheet for the resistors to find their "peak" current/power rating, it'll only make heat when current is passing (i.e. lights on).

Nassim mer Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Hello everyone plz i have a huge problem with my ford focus hatchback 1.i tdci 2008 with manual series written 7m5j-19A321-ADA ..i have lost my ecu in an accident and i m not able to start up the car without the correct ecu compatible serial number how could i know the right serial number from the car engine parts ?!?! Help plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordster1 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 @Preee - I don't think the manual you linked covers the 1.6L DV6C engine in the mk3 2012 focus? Would you happen to have the wiring diagrams for this engine, in particular with relation to the injectors wiring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at that diagram, the wire colours don't match my T1DA / T1DB engine, they're completely different wire colours. Seems Ford likes to confuse us, although it'sa Peugeot engine I believe so that would explain the wiring discrepancies, HaHa. French electrics, they can't even get the diagram correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuscus Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Anybody have any idea what diagnostic tool to check individual injection quantity and correction? Neither Delphi/Autocom or ForScan has any options on the data list about in detail injection. I know of Ford's IDS and a Bosch diagnostic tool as more specialized for this ECU.
