Electrical System Check

All work this week has led to a potential engine start. Today all that work was completed, so we made the final battery connection (body earth is good because I got the spanner to arc from the positive to the body) and switched on the master switch. This put put power on the old Focus dash cluster, and allowed us to switch the car to ON and see what worked. Expecting to hear potentially nothing, we heard the lovely sound of the fuel pump pressurising and the throttle body position sensor motor humming.


The old dash cluster lit up revealing the original engine mileage.....12,791km. On the downside, there are few errors we need to remove, and these have interesting alarm chimes sounding. Putting the old key near the PATS reader, we were able to make it crank over.........
