What does the kill switch behind the bumper turn off, (I take it is a kill switch looks like a push button mounted just behind the bumper)
Does it kill the fuel?
Cheers Rich

 

you sure it's not an outside air temp sensor ?

 

Definatley a push button but I don't want to push it, but i'm afriad it maybe the reason my car wont start just need to know what it kills.

On the 3dr Rich??? can't remember seeing one on mine

 

Yup, this slightly worrying.
I'll take a photo in the morning.
Rich

 

Is it a button or a switch make your mind up

Most prob immobiliser start the car then push it in or click it

"disclaimer" if your engine blows up dont blame me

 

Well it's defo not a std ford fitment, just push the thing easiest way to see if it has any effect.

It looks like one of those crash type ones you know once it's pushed thats it no reset.
Rich

 

Does it have a pivot bar that pushes down and is nearer the right hand side or centre of the car, if so I am certain thats the temp sender for the graphic display.

fuel cut off arnt they in the boot ?

 

3DR dosen't have one at all, 2WD yes, I think 4x4 has them inside the car, certainly not at the front of the car.

Soz about the poor quality taken with my iPhone
Here's a close up even has a Ford Stamp and it's wired into the main car loom along with the lights:

Its mounted just to the right hand side of the fog light grill (if your looking at the car from the front) You can't really make it out in the photo:

Rich

 

never seen one of those before :S

 

gotta be a outside temp sensor but didn't think 3drs had temp read outs, is is def a button does it press in

 

Ye it's definatley a button, just don't want to risk pressing it.
Rich

 

got one on mine too,i thought it was a fuel cut off switch

 

press it ?

 

trace the wires from it?

 

Bugger that i've just rewraped the whole car loom.
Rich

 

Thats the one I mentioned earlier, I am 99.9% sure thats for the temp part of the graphic display module.

Martin

 

3 Doors had a frost warning light do they not? so they must have a temp sensor somewhere.

 

afraid I can't help, but it reminds me of at work there's a doorbell on a counter so you can call someone over, someone remade the sign so it read, 'press here to blow up the world'

No one ever pressed it again

 

This is the outside temperature sensor mate.

 

Press it.

 

I've pressed it and it does bugger all but the car won't start anyways.
If its a sensor why does the button depress?
Rich

 

Thats because it's not a switch, it's a sensor the bit you see on it which depresses is a thermistor, I guess the question was in aid of a problem with it not starting?

Is there power at the pump??

 

Yup, i've given up tring now hopefully go down to Reyland next week.
Rich

 

Easy way to tell is write down part number and see what ford call it, can't see that being the frost warning, any thermistor would need better ambient than inside that device would give, and certainly wouldn't have or need a press button on it.
Wire colour would give a clue though.
