Strange car problem (with video)?
Hello everyone, I'm really at a loss regarding my Ford Focus Mk1 Tunier 1.6 (100 hp) built in 2003.
As you can see in the attached video, the car has extreme crashes when exposed to strong flying forces (tight corners, heavy braking) or strong vibrations (potholes, milling edges), during which the car no longer accepts power and sometimes even turns off!
In addition, the windshield wipers turn on without operating the selector lever.
It doesn't throw any error codes when reading them and the air and fuel filters have already been replaced, but that didn't help.
Here is the video:
The symptoms can be explained individually for themselves all, but in combination this also occurs to me Spanish.
The windshield wiper is controlled, for example, by the GEM, which in turn has little to do with the motor run. The VSS fails and the motor then runs “comic” frequently, but that does not fall the speed indicator at zero.
One suggestion: Get a voltage tester for the cigarette lighter maybe you have overvoltage in the system. (Then, however, the battery lamp would have to light up 😅)
I would ask the question here https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/ford-focus-mk1-b408.html
The one that goes out of the car or sets certain functions can be related to a mistake at the Chrsch sensor. Certain older models had the problem of being too weak in vergagenheit or to recognize early a possible christian that had not occurred.
There was a deeper percussion hole or a canal lid enough to shut down the car..
This sensor then has disconnected the power supply, disconnected the motor or impaired other functions. The sensor was initially installed in the reserve wheel trough later in the column in the region of the hood opening device. where he is today .. I don’t know what you’re doing.
Engine is one thing… but after the windshield wiper also with spins, I would shave at the connector of the control unit: When the spinning shop arrives, then it has inside, should have a printed circuit board, there cold soldering points (sometimes before)!
That’s where I’d be tapping a wobble contact. Let the engine run and move all cables and cables back and forth. Also the gasoline pump in the tank. Maybe you can circle the problem.
