    So what would be the solution for this fault? I have exactly the same issue, and hoping not to be ripped off by those that, as you say, pull out the parts catalogue and go crazy

    I think you may have solved my problem. My Galaxy wouldn't crank, but when I let it roll a bit it started. I assume therefore that it must be a dodgy starter motor, as did the garage. When I went to pick it up, it wouldn't start. The mechanic told me to press both the clutch and the brake. It started, but I told him I had never had to do this before and only needed to depress the clutch as normal. Having come across your video, I checked the drivers foot well and found it to be very wet. I will take it back to the garage and get them to investigate the corroded wire. I'm sure that is the problem. Cheers.

    There is a small oil filter in the head. You can google how to change it. If it is plugged with sludge the oil flow is limited. Change it periodically (and keep the oil clean) and you wont have this problem.

I took the blue plug apart in the fusebox under the bonnet and found some contacts very corroded so cleaned up both parts with electrical cleaned and small wirebrush. Then I also changed the small ecu behind the gearstick as again a few corroded connectors. Small ecu cost 15 pound from ebay

    Testing with a jump lead is a poor way to carry out that test as depending on the quality of the jump lead it still may not start. Look up the video super mario diagnostics did on testing earth faults. It explains it quite well

The weird thing about the problem I was having is that it would start but needed to have both brake and clutch depressed and 2 pushes of the start button. Now all back to normal. Thank you!!!

    Hopefully you are still monitoring the comments.... I've got 95% of the same conditions featured here, right down to the previous Aircon leak. The 5% difference is that when I trigger the start button... The dash shows "press clutch to start" and that dismisses when I press the clutch (But no response from the engine) Does that mean my clutch wire is likely ok or does that switch feed different modules and there could still be a break? Appreciate your thoughts before I get to ripping it out!

  • @ams-mobileuk7226
    @ams-mobileuk72266 ай бұрын

    Hi. I'd say if the clutch message goes out when you press the clutch then it5 is probably ok, if the vehicle is not cranking you need to start at the starter motor & work back from there

    @@ams-mobileuk7226 Your video has saved another one.... just reporting back to say that.. after noting the clutch notice on dash was actually intermittent, I had a look at the wiring in question.. and bingo! I actually have no idea what Ford were thinking with this connection, they could have added 50p to the build cost and done it in so many better ways.
