Hi all was just wondering if anyone knows if the wiring looms are the same in all escorts and onions regardless of them being Rs turbo or xr3i etc?

I know that the engine looms are different because of efi or mfi etc but was wondering if the in car loom is the same. Reason I ask is I have two orions one mfi and one efi both have full electric pack and same year so wondering if I could lift the loom from one and put it in the other so I can keep the alarm.

 

your going efi and the mfi has the alarm ???

 

I read my own post and I don't think its clear lol!

I have two cars one is mfi and one is already efi as its a later model it was efi from factory.

Mfi is rotten and is being scrapped but has a good alarm with it,

Was planning on swapping the car loom into the EFI car to get the alarm and wanted to know if they were the same or if I am going to have to rewire the alarm

Not changing the engine loom

Thanks

 

Engine and car loom are one single combined loom in a mk4 so unfortunately you can't just swap them.

probably a "pop" (piece of pierce) to remove it, may have switches on door locks like sierra, guess its de-activated by the key in drivers door, and triggered by interior light/ pin switches, so grab the door looms too
will be very basic, although it seems to have done its job,
probably doesn`t enter fuse box, also
mirrors windows and locks loom does disconnect from the main engine and lights / heaters loom easy job

 

I sold mk4 mirrors / locking . and windows loom , just unplugs,
few spades and an earth or 2
strangely a guy with a mk5 escort purchased it,

 

Yeah I think i am going to remove the loom and splice it into the efi one, To be fair it's a thatcham cat 1 sigma alarm so I would like to keep it as it's been good and gives me remote central locking,

Damn you ford lol.

 

ahh thought you were saving a 90 spec ford alarm rofl
still easy enough, wires will be black label them clearly,

 

Hahahaha mate those alarms about as useful as a wet fart lol

 

This is what I was thinking too! lol
