Yes....it would be handy ;) Firstly....do you have a battery cover ? Secondly......is yours a mid '97 or later, or facelift model ?....& have you noticed any water drips in the passenger footwell ? Above the passenger footwell cover is the PCM/ECU (silver box), which on later models has the PATS incorporated into it. If this gets wet (leak from bulkhead, under battery) & water gets into the pins in the multiplug, then it can cause this kind of problem. |

Title: Re: pats Post by brownie on Nov 3rd, 2009, 5:50pm hi yet again no battery cover but i have used bubble rap and bags from last Jan the fuse boxes are bone dry but the loom is wet and yes the p/side foot well is wet too i parked up for 5 Min's and came back and the pats was on not flashing just on very dim so any help would be most blessed |

Title: Re: pats Post by Simmo on Nov 3rd, 2009, 7:22pm If the passenger side footwell is wet then as JC says the grommet behind the fusebox is letting water in through the bulkhead and that is running all over the electronics as it does so. NOT a good idea. ::). Have a read of THIS page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/battery.htm) as it shows how to remove the panel in front of the battery. You need to make sure there is no rubbish, leaves etc, blocking the drainage channels as this is the most likely cause of your problem IF the boxes are dry. They may appear dry from the top BUT if water is held in the tray it will get into the layers of the fusebox underneath. |

Title: Re: pats Post by brownie on Nov 3rd, 2009, 7:41pm thanks the fuses boxes have been out and strip down and they was bone dry but loom was really wet the fuse boxes was new last Jan from ford now you sad this it sending me back to the plug on the loom or the loom wot do you think ? brownie |

Title: Re: pats Post by Simmo on Nov 3rd, 2009, 7:54pm If water is getting in to the passenger footwell the likely cause is because the CCM/Pats which sits behind the glovebox is getting wet. Lower the glovebox and get in behind there and make sure the large grommet which caries the wires from/to the fusebox through the bulkhead is properly fitted to keep the water out. Read This (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/drainholes.htm) and get a battery cover. |

Title: Re: pats Post by Simmo on Nov 4th, 2009, 7:56am Brownie, THIS page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/electrical/intbasic/CentralContModule.pdf) may help as it shows how to 'drop' the entire glovebox to give access to the CCM. Let us know how you get on and I see you have the offer of a battery cover!. ;D |

Title: Re: pats Post by tootman318 on Nov 10th, 2009, 7:04pm as mentioned before, depends what year car is. earlier cars have seperate pats units, later facelift pats built into ecu. you will have ignition relays and fuses. have you the owners handbook? full list of fuses and relays in there |
