does ne1 know where i can get a online wiring diagram for an 92 escort xr3i????help asap

 

what do you need to know?? i might be able to help

 

Haynes manuals mate

 

got new alternator fitted the chargin light went off for a second then came back on an myy head is jus pure fried lol

 

Ok

Zetec presumably?

 

i know absolutly nothin bout cars mates im jus tryin to learn

 

ok

What engine is it? 1.8 16v?

 

yip1.8 16

 

Ok.

So, just to clarify, you turn the ignition on, and the battery light illuminates, and doesnt go out once the car is running and bein driven?

 

it jus stays on permanently ignition an running

 

Thats what i was trying to ask

Right, not very easy to see, but you need to look at the alternator wiring.

Theres a thick red wire, and a thinner wire (i dont know the colour)

The thinner wire is the wire we are interested in. There are 2 terminals it could connect onto, have a look at which one its connected to.

Then you could try disconnecting the wire and doing a simple test.

 

il give it a gomate an let ya no cheers

 

Ok

If theres nothing obviously wrong to look at let me know and i'll tell you how to test and find whats at fault

 

Just google searched and this post come up guys so sorry if its a bit out of context, i've just took a 130 1.8 16v zetec out of a '94 escort to put into my old ford anglia and i would possibly need to get the engine running as i took it out the car, someone has told me really all i need is a live feed to the ecu and as long as i got the fuel pump etc for that ecu it should run? is this true?

 

Sort off.... Yes, you will probably find there are some relays and shit that need to come over. On the xr2i there is a round multiplug under the bonnet where the engine loom discoonnects from the rest of the car. Been ages since I fooked around with one of these. Tell me the colours and I will try and help. From memory we have green = rev gauge, blue = alternator to clocks, black and red =fuel pump , black = ig live (possibly) white and brown =temp gauge (I think).... Dunno if this helps

 

thanks mate, funnily enough theres a bloke lives round the corner from me that has put a zetec in his kitcar and he said he'll help me out so thats a bonus thanks
