Testing
1The central locking module incorporates a
service-test mode, which is activated by
operating one of the lock position switches 8
times within 10 seconds. A buzzer will sound,
to indicate that the service-test mode is
operating, and to indicate that no faults have
been found in the system. If a fault has been
found, the system should be checked by a
Ford dealer or electrical specialist. The central
locking module also incorporates the alarm
system module.
Removal

2To remove the module, first remove the
lower right-hand facia panel (right-hand-drive
models) or the glovebox (left-hand-drive
models).
3Disconnect the battery negative (earth) lead
(Chapter 5, Section 1).
4Unscrew the mounting bolts, and remove
the module from the bracket beneath the
facia.
5Disconnect the wiring multi-plug, and
withdraw the module from inside the vehicle.6Note that a different module is used for
models without an anti-theft alarm.

1The windscreen and rear window on all
models are bonded in place with special
mastic, as are the rear side windows on
Estate models. Special tools are required to
cut free the old units and fit replacements;
special cleaning solutions and primer are also
required. It is therefore recommended that
this work is entrusted to a Ford dealer or
windscreen replacement specialist.
2Note that the windscreen contributes
towards the structural strength of the vehicle
as a whole, so it is important that it is fitted
correctly.

functions of the various relays are given in the
Specifications (see illustration).
8If a component controlled by a relay
becomes inoperative and the relay is suspect,
listen to the relay as the circuit is operated. If
the relay is functioning, it should be possible
to hear it click as it is energized. If the relay
proves satisfactory, the fault lies with the
components or wiring of the system. If the
relay is not being energized, then either the
relay is not receiving a switching voltage, or
the relay itself is faulty. (Do not overlook the
relay socket terminals when tracing faults.)
Testing is by the substitution of a known good
unit, but be careful; while some relays are
identical in appearance and in operation,
others look similar, but perform different
functions.9The central timer module located on the
bottom of the main fusebox incorporates its
own self-diagnosis function. Note that
diagnosis cannot take place if the heated rear
window is defective.
10To activate the system, press the heated
rear window button while the ignition is being
switched on, then release the button. Operate
the light switch, washer pump switch and all
of the door switches one after the other, and
check that the buzzer confirms that the input
signals are correct.
11Now move the wiper lever to the
intermittent wipe position, and check the
output signals by operating the same
switches.
12The self-diagnosis function is turned off
by switching the ignition off and on again.
