ayrshiredude Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 So was in my local Ford Dealer the other day and looked at the 2016 Fiesta Zetec S. The model they had didn't have the auto wipers etc but there was a box stuck to the inside of the windscreen to the right of the rear view mirror. The sales guy had no idea what it was? Any ideas?

ayrshiredude Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 as far as I am aware there was no extras on the car. It was a Zetec S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Is it the rain sensor for the intermittent wiper control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Pretty sure they don't have rain sensors for intermittent. Only auto wipers have rain sensors. Intermittent is speed sensitive normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Did it have climate control? In my dad's car the box by the mirror is the moisture sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Its the gps unit for the emergency assistance on the sync feature 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshiredude Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 The car doesn't have auto wipers or headlights. My last Zetec S never had this box and it had the emergency assist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's for the emergency assist, what year was your ZS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Or could be the sat nav aerial if its got audio unit with nav as an option specified on build 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazman23 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 it is the GPS antenna for the Emergency Assist, Standard on the Zetecs and above i think. My 2015 65 Plate Zetec has this. no extras like auto wipers or anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Definantly gps antenna for sync emergency assist , just looked at 3 different fiestas and all got the antenna located in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshiredude Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ok so have they changed that from slightly older models? Though mine did have auto wipers etc so would the sensor be within that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazman23 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ok so have they changed that from slightly older models? Though mine did have auto wipers etc so would the sensor be within that? The rain sensor would probably be seperate and further down the windscreen. The GPS antenna is right at the top of the windscreen in the black area and is not attached or merged with the rear view mirror. It just sits next to it. See below image of mine It's my understanding that Emergancy assist has only came with the 2013/14 models onwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I've a 2015 titanium x and doesn't have the black box like that. I don't have satnav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshiredude Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ah ok. Mine had the emergency assist but not a separate box like that. Must have been incorporated into the wiper/light sensor unit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ah ok. Mine had the emergency assist but not a separate box like that.
