1 General information and
precautions
General information
The electrical system is of 12-volt negative
earth type. Power for the lights and all
electrical accessories is supplied by a
lead/acid battery, which is charged by the
engine-driven alternator.
This Chapter covers repair and service
procedures for the various electrical
components not associated with the engine.
Information on the battery, ignition system,
alternator, and starter motor can be found in
Chapter 5A and B.
All models from 1994 onwards are fitted
with a driver’s air bag, which is designed to
prevent serious chest and head injuries to the
driver during an accident. A similar bag for the
front seat passenger is also available. The
combined sensor and electronics for the air
bag is located next to the steering column
inside the vehicle, and contains a back-up
capacitor, crash sensor, decelerometer,
safety sensor, integrated circuit and
microprocessor. The air bag is inflated by a
gas generator, which forces the bag out of the module cover in the centre of the steering
wheel. A “clock spring” ensures that a good
electrical connection is maintained with the air
bag at all times - as the steering wheel is
turned in each direction, the spring winds and
unwinds.
An anti-theft alarm system is available on
later models, and is triggered if the vehicle is
broken into through the doors, bonnet, or
tailgate. The alarm will also be triggered if the
ignition or audio equipment is tampered with.
Additionally, from the 1994 model year
onwards, a Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)
is fitted. This system, (which works
independently of the standard alarm) prevents
the engine from being started unless a
specific code, programmed into the ignition
key, is recognised by the PATS transceiver.
Precautions
Warning: Before carrying out
any work on the electrical
system, read through the
precautions given in “Safety
first!” at the beginning of this manual and
in Chapter 5A, Section 1.
Caution: Prior to working on any
component in the electrical system, the
battery negative lead should first be
disconnected, to prevent the possibility of electrical short-circuits and/or fires. If a
radio/cassette player with anti-theft
security code is fitted, refer to the
information given in the reference sections
of this manual before disconnecting the
battery.

general information

Note: Refer to the precautions given in
“Safety first!” and in Section 1 of this Chapter
before starting work. The following tests relate
to testing of the main electrical circuits, and
should not be used to test delicate electronic
circuits (such as engine management
systems), particularly where an electronic
control unit is used. Also refer to the
precautions given in Chapter 5A, Section 1.
General
1 A typical electrical circuit consists of an
electrical component, any switches, relays,
motors, fuses, fusible links or circuit breakers
related to that component, and the wiring and
connectors which link the component to both
the battery and the chassis. To help to
pinpoint a problem in an electrical circuit,

8Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure.
Front direction indicator side
repeater
9 Remove the appropriate front wheel arch
liner as described in Chapter 11.
10 Remove the appropriate sill scuff plate as
described in Chapter 11, and release the clip
securing the insulation to the panel forward of
the lower A-pillar.
11 Disconnect the supply lead connector and
the earth lead, then release their grommet
from its panel location.
12 From outside the vehicle, twist the light
assembly to release it, then withdraw it and its
leads.
13 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure, ensuring that the grommet is
seated correctly in its panel location.
Rear light cluster
14 Disconnect the multi-plug from the
bulbholder, then press the retaining lugs on
the bulbholder together and remove it (see
illustration) . 15
Unscrew the four nuts securing the light
unit, then remove the unit and its seal.
16 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure. Tighten the light unit securing nuts
to their specified torque.
Number plate light
17 Insert a thin flat-bladed screwdriver
between the light assembly and the bumper,
and carefully prise the light out. Use a rag, or
a piece of card, between the screwdriver and
the bumper, to prevent damage to the
bumper.
18 Detach the connections on the underside
of the light assembly.
19 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure.
Auxiliary lights
S models
20 Disconnect the battery negative (earth)
lead (refer to Chapter 5A, Section 1).
21 Disconnect the light wiring multi-plug then
unscrew its retaining nut, withdraw the bolt
and remove the light unit (see illustration).22
Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure, tightening the retaining nut to the
specified torque. On completion, check the
auxiliary light beam alignment as described in
Section 8.
XR2i models
23 Disconnect the battery negative (earth)
lead (refer to Chapter 5A, Section 1).
24 Undo the four Torx retaining screws
securing the relevant dual light assembly to its
bumper location. Note that the retaining and
adjusting screws are captive within the light
assembly - they cannot be removed from
the assembly (see illustration) .
25 Withdraw the light assembly from its
location, then remove the caps protecting the
bulbs and disconnect the wiring.
26 If required, the lights may be removed
individually from their housing at this stage.
Each light is secured to its housing unit by a
combination of two types of clips - foglight
retention differs from driving light retention.
27 The adjusting/retaining clips are removed
by undoing the adjustment screws on the
front of the housing unit, then turning the clips
using pliers or similar tool, before
withdrawing. To remove a retaining-only clip,
lift the lug on the side of the clip using a
screwdriver, then turn the clip using pliers or
similar tool, before withdrawing.
28 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure. On completion, check the auxiliary
light beam alignment as described in Section 8.

work should therefore be carried out by a
Ford dealer or service station with the
necessary facilities.
2Temporary adjustment can be made when
the headlight has been removed and refitted,
or to compensate for normal adjustment
whenever a heavy load is being carried. Turn
the adjustment screws at the rear of the
headlight unit to make the adjustment (see
illustration) .
3 Before making any adjustments to the
headlight settings, it is important that the tyre
pressures are correct, and that the vehicle is
standing on level ground. Bounce the front of
the vehicle a few times to settle the
suspension. Ideally, somebody of normal size
should sit in the driver’s seat during the
adjustment, and the vehicle should have a full
tank of fuel.
4 S model auxiliary lights are adjusted by
slackening the light retaining nuts and
swivelling the light assemblies (see
illustration 7.21) . Tighten the nuts upon
completion.
5 XR2i model auxiliary lights are individually
adjustable within their housings, provision
being made for both vertical and horizontal
adjustment of the driving lights, and vertical adjustment only of the foglights. Adjustment is
made via Torx-head captive screws on the
front of the housings
(see illustration 7.24) .
6 Whenever temporary adjustments are
made, the settings must be reset as soon as
possible once the vehicle is in normal use.

Removal
1 Disconnect the battery negative (earth) lead
(refer to Chapter 5A, Section 1).
2 Disconnect the speedometer cable at the
transmission casing (see Section 11).
3 Remove the two screws securing the
instrument panel bezel from its underside.
Remove the bezel.
4 Remove the four screws securing the
instrument panel to its location, then carefully
pull it out to allow access to the speedometer
cable and multi-plug connections. Disconnect
the speedometer cable and multi-plug, then
remove the instrument panel from the vehicle
(see illustrations) .

5 Using a suitable tool (a trim clip removal
tool is ideal), carefully prise the printed circuit
off its instrument terminals, and release it from
its retainers before removing.
