Mondeo electrics - oldpostie
Got to work at usual early start yesterday, i.e. still dark. When I went to park up and go in couldn't lock the car, although I had just emptied my things out of the boot. Next thing, couldn't undo boot, lock rear doors. Remote key not working, which I thought was the battery. Found I had no indicators, or rear wipers. Everything else was OK.
Assumed it was simply a fuse, so called in the Ford dealers to ask which it could be, and saw how many there are. I examined all the likely culprits but everything looked OK. The workshop was full, and wouldn't take the car in to look at it, but one of the partners had a look, but couldn't see anything broken.
The car is left with them now, and I am driving a Ka, which is a great little car, if a bit small.
Have to wait to hear from them whenever they can look at it.
Surely it can only be a fuse, but what caused one to blow, if that's what it is ?

Got the car back today. It was a faulty Electronic Control Module, replaced under warranty.

Glad to hear the problem was solved. What was the year/model Mondeo involved? Thanks Waino

It's a 53 reg 2003 TDC130 (2.0) hatch.
I signed a paper to do with the warranty claim and there was a figure of some £92 shown.
