need some help

[johnd]

Hi all , long time no talk , i have been a bit busy this year with Claire (not been to good ) things looking better now .
now i know this is a hilux site , but i was needing some help on a Mondeo .

Claires car has been parked for a few months and for some reason the fuel pump packed up , ( its a 52 plate 1.8 petrol)

new pump fitted and car runs fine , but i have no fuel gauge now .

confession time , i sent a live 12v up the earth wire feed to the sender .
i have traced the wire back to the fuse box and it just connects to a plug that then runs into the dash , also if i unplug the dash for a few seconds and refit all the dials do a self check and the fuel gauge works in that.
so any help would be great .

and a pic of the surf just for fun

Have you checked the fuses? Double check you have not knocked or broken any wires,

Cheers, Nick

I'm not 100% sure, but the signal from wherever the road speed senser is, is a signal voltage...around the 5v mark...might have fried something.

thanks lads , yer fuses all checked and i am 100% sure i have cooked something
i just need to find out what .
i was hopeing it was just a ground to earth , but it looks like it may be a bcm or the pcb in the clocks .
if i test for an earth with the tank unpluged it has no earth at all

If that does work, here some extras you can try

Anti Hijack Feature
1. Turn on ignition until the dash lights come on but don't start engine!
2. Lock and unlock the door using the lever on the door handle 3 Times
3. Turn off ignition
4. Repeat 2 but with ignition OFF
5. Turn on ignition - should hear a beep
6. Lock door again as in 2 BUT ONLY ONCE - final beep should be heard
7. Done!
Doors should now lock at around 5mph. including reverse!!!


Turning Off Seatbelt Reminder
Before starting this procedure, make sure that... The handbrake's on It's in Park
or neutral.Ignition is off. All doors are closed (and you're in the car). All the
seatbelts are unbuckled. The headlamps are off.
Deactivating/Activating
Turn the ignition switch to position II. (Do not start the engine).
Wait until the safety belt warning indicator turns off. (Approximately one to two
minutes).
The next 3 steps must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure must be
repeated.
Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with the safety belt
unbuckled.
Turn the headlamps ON then OFF.
Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times ending with the safety belt
unbuckled.
After this step the safety belt warning indicator will be illuminated for three
seconds.
Within seven seconds of the safety belt warning indicator turning off, buckle then
unbuckle
the safety belt. This will enable the belt minder if disabled or disable belt minder
if enabled.
The following sequence will confirm the belt minder is enabled:
The safety belt warning indicator flashes four times per second for three seconds.
Three seconds with the safety belt warning indicator off. The safety belt warning
indicator flashes four times per second for three seconds again.
The safety belt warning indicator flashing four times per second for three seconds
provides confirmation of belt minder disabled.
After confirmation,the deactivation/activation procedure is complete

1 If the vehicle doesn't have a seatbelt warning light, use the SRS (airbag) warning
indicator instead.
2 If the seatbelt light doesn't normally come on until you move, proceed as above,
without initially
waiting for the belt warning indicator to go off (in this case, after the second three
buckles, the
indicator will flash a couple of times, instead of being illuminated for 3 seconds)

If you know anyone that can use that info please pass it on, as some people charge up to £5 for that on ebay, and with a little digging it can be found for free.
