headlamp washer pump, from the reservoir
(see illustration).
7 Remove the rubber seals.

Washer nozzle (windscreen)

8 With the bonnet supported in its open
position, carefully disconnect the washer tube
from the bottom of the nozzle.
9 Using a screwdriver and working from
under the bonnet, carefully prise out the
nozzle. Where necessary, disconnect the
wiring for the nozzle heater.

Washer nozzle (rear window)

10 With the tailgate open, carefully pull off
the inner trim panel from the top of the
tailgate.
11 Pull the washer tube from the bottom of
the nozzle (see illustration).
12 Carefully prise the nozzle out of the
tailgate glass, then prise out the rubber
grommet

(see illustrations). Where

necessary, disconnect the wiring for the
nozzle heater.

Refitting

13 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure. In the case of the washer nozzles,
press them in until they are fully engaged. The
rear window washer nozzle must rest against
the rubber seal.

Note: Special tools are required to remove the
radio.

Coding

1 If a Ford “Keycode” unit is fitted, and the
unit and/or the battery is disconnected, the
unit will not function again on reconnection
until the correct security code is entered.
Details of this procedure are given in the
“Ford Audio Systems Operating Guide”
supplied with the vehicle when new, with the
code itself being given in a “Radio Passport”
and/or a “Keycode Label” at the same time.
2 For obvious security reasons, the re-coding
procedure is not given in this manual - if you

do not have the code or details of the correct
procedure, but can supply proof of ownership
and a legitimate reason for wanting this
information, the vehicle’s selling dealer may
be able to help.
3 Note that these units will allow only ten
attempts at entering the code - any further
attempts will render the unit permanently
inoperative until it has been reprogrammed by
Ford themselves. At first, three consecutive
attempts are allowed; if all three are incorrect,
a 30-minute delay is required before another
attempt can be made. Each of any
subsequent attempts (up to the maximum of
ten) can be made only after a similar delay.

Removal

4 Disconnect the battery negative (earth)
lead.
5 Where fitted, prise the cover/surround from
the front of the radio/cassette player. Note
that the cover is not fitted to all models.
6 In order to release the radio retaining clips,
two U-shaped rods must be inserted into the
special holes on each side of the radio (see
illustration). If possible, it is preferable to
obtain purpose-made rods from an audio
specialist, as these have cut-outs which snap
firmly into the clips so that the radio can be
pulled out. Pull the unit squarely from its
aperture, or it may jam. If the unit proves
difficult to withdraw, remove the cassette tray
(or where applicable, the CD player) from

beneath the unit, then reach through the
aperture and ease it out from behind.
7 With the radio partly withdrawn, disconnect
the feed, earth, aerial and speaker leads.
Where applicable, also detach and remove
the plastic support bracket from the rear of
the unit.

Refitting

6 Refitting is a reversal of removal. With the
leads reconnected to the rear of the unit,
press it into position until the retaining clips
are felt to engage. Reactivate the unit by
entering the correct code in accordance with
the maker’s manuals.

Removal

1 Disconnect the battery negative (earth)
lead. See Chapter 5, Section 1.
2 Unscrew the screws and remove the lower
facia panel.
3 The radio/cassette player power amplifier is
located beneath the facia.
4 Unscrew the cross-head screws, dis-
connect the wiring and remove the amplifier.

procedure.

models, an autochanger version is available,
which can hold a number of discs at a time.

2 The battery negative (earth) lead should be
disconnected before commencing work.

unit

3 The procedure is identical to that for the
radio/cassette player described in Section 23.

CD player autochanger

4 The CD player autochanger unit is mounted
on the right-hand side of the luggage
compartment. The wiring loom passes up the
“C” pillar, across to the left-hand side “A”
pillar, then to the centre console area.
5 Remove the trim cover from the
autochanger unit.
6 Unscrew the mounting screws, and remove
the autochanger unit from its mounting
bracket.
7 Disconnect the multi-plug and remove the
unit from inside the vehicle.

Refitting

8 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure.

Removal

1 Remove the door trim panel as described in
Chapter 11.
2 Unscrew the cross-head screws, and
withdraw the speaker from the door inner
panel.
3 Disconnect the wiring and remove the
speaker.

Refitting

4 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure.

Removal

1 Prise out the trim cover from the headlining
immediately below the base of the aerial.
2 Unscrew the cross-head screw from the
base of the aerial, and remove the aerial mast.

Refitting

3 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure.

Warning: Handle the air bag unit
with extreme care, as a
precaution against personal
injury, and always hold it with the

cover facing away from the body. If in
doubt concerning any proposed work
involving the air bag unit or its control
circuitry, consult a Ford dealer or other
qualified specialist.

Removal

1 Disconnect the battery negative (earth) lead
(refer to Chapter 5, Section 1).

Warning: Before proceeding, wait
a minimum of 15 minutes, as a
precaution against accidental
firing of the air bag unit. This

period ensures that any stored energy in
the back-up capacitor is dissipated.

2 Rotate the steering wheel so that one of the
mounting bolt holes is visible above the
steering column upper shroud.
3 Unscrew and remove the first mounting
bolt, then turn the steering wheel as
necessary and remove the remaining
mounting bolts (see illustration).
4 Carefully withdraw the air bag unit from the
steering wheel far enough to disconnect the
wiring multi-plug, then remove it from inside
the vehicle (see illustration).

Warning: Stand the unit with the
cover uppermost, and do not
expose it to heat sources in
excess of 100ºC.
Warning: Do not attempt to open
or repair the air bag unit, or apply
any electrical current to it. Do not

use any air bag unit which is visibly
damaged or which has been tampered
with.

Refitting

5 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure.

Removal

1 Disconnect the battery negative (earth) lead
(refer to Chapter 5, Section 1).

Warning: Before proceeding, wait
a minimum of 15 minutes, as a
precaution against accidental
firing of the air bag unit. This

period ensures that any stored energy in
the back-up capacitor is dissipated.

2 Remove the facia panel as described in
Chapter 11.
3 Disconnect the multi-plug from the module,
by pressing the locking tab upwards and
swivelling the retaining strap.
4 Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove
the module from the vehicle.

Refitting

5 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure.

Removal

1 Remove the air bag unit as described in
Section 28.
2 Disconnect the horn switch multi-plug.
3 If fitted, disconnect the multi-plugs for the
cruise control.
4 Remove the steering wheel and shrouds.
5 Using a small screwdriver, release the
retaining tabs, then remove the clock spring
from the steering column.

Refitting

6 Refitting is a reversal of the removal
procedure, but make sure that the steering
wheel is centralised. The clock spring must be
fitted in its central position, with the special
alignment marks aligned and the TOP mark
uppermost. To check for this position, turn the
clock spring housing anti-clockwise until it is
tight, then turn in the opposite direction by
two-and-three-quarter turns.
