Thanks for this. The fault I had was because of the transponder in the key. I now use my other and the fault hasn't occurred anymore.

Wow... My instrument gave me issues for up to a year... It was so frustrating.none of the technicians I took it to could fix it.....but after watching your video, I got it fixed myself...today, my car started without any hassles and errors... Thanks a lot...

Could you see any cracks in the joints? I’m looking for it but can’t even see any foul play in the joint s

@@Cripinub1 maybe one of them was dubious although I only used a 1980's/90's ring light magnifier my mate got me from his works clearout. Unleaded solder is used from the factory, this has little flex properties compared to full fat solder with a tasty bit of lead in the mix. Ive done 4 of these clocks now and the audio unit from a Ford Ranger. Its always the shitty joints

You have made my day I've done exactly what you did and it's alive again thank you very much!!!!!!!

Great video. They don't build them to last anymore

Great job, like the rationale at the end. Am going to do mine.

This is a great video, will certainly help me. Great job

Hey I subscribed to your channel. Will it just cut off while your driving and when you try starting it just cranks?

Usually keeps going whilst driving, but it will stop you from starting when it goes wrong

What scanning tool/software are you using? I've got the same issue when driving losing all power. Just started happening.

I use a variety of scan tools, Snap On, Launch, Autel, Topdon, Texa, Ancel, Foxwell, and a few others, no garage can survive with one scan tool!

Is the same applicable to the Ford C-max 1.8 petrol 2008?Fault code is the same.Says engine malfunction speed limited mode on dash?

I have no idea! You need to at least scan it and get some sort of information out of the car!

i stupidly removed the needles before marking position, is there a way to reset or calibrate these pointers once removed?

DOH! Only with a scan tool

After the repair my throttle won’t work, could it be due to the reason I didn’t clear codes? I do not have the device but I did unplugged and replugged the battery…
