Ford Fiesta - fitting alarm nightmare - mountainkat
I have a 2004 fiesta & am currently installing a Microscan 400 series alarm.

-- having a bit of a nightmare working out how to wire-in the indicators & courtesy light circuit

Tried the fuse box, can't find anything - wired the alarm wires for the indicators into the column switch originally & this didn't work

I have a copy of the Ford TIS CD but the wiring diagrams on there confuse the hell out of me

Please can someone tell me where to wire-in the alarm triggers for the indicators (L & R) & the interior light circuit


many thanks in advance !!!

Not certain of this make.But assuming wires are long enough you will need to splice circuit on both indicators. ie either side.and join..preferably as close to front indicator lights as possible..Interior I think is Green/red tracer. ie earth feed to interior light..May be wrong so check this before trying

I think TIS was made to confuse! It's a shame there's not a Haynes manual for it yet.

Your not joking, the TIS is not very good - no wonder the Ford garages don't know what they're doing half the time !!!
