![]() The multiplug will also have a loose connection within it also causing the heat (as you say the dash lights etc work intermittently if you wiggle it) You can try and make the connections better by making sure both sets of plugs/ pins are clean and free from corrosion and try to 'close' the plug socket connections a bit with a small screwdriver to give a tight fit. Fuel pump relays are a common one for getting hot usually one of the connections on the coil or other circuit within the relay has broken down over the years giving a high resistance and therefore it gets hot. Put a reply on the RSOC bb m8, here's a copyīoth problems seem to be down to bad connections, a poor connection between 2 wires will cause a high electrical resistance this in turn causes heat which further compounds the problem as this in turn causes an even higher resistance! and so on, so the connection gets hot. This is NOT a sob story but i am still out of work and i cant afford to take the car to a Auto Electrician, Can any one suggest what i can do to fix the problem without going to a Auto Electrician ? With the engine running when i touched that multi plug, that multi plug felt very very hot, i have followed the wires are far as i can under the dashboard and after about 10 inches the hot wires, suddenly become cold (like normal wires). ![]() If those wires are moved in anyway the dash board lights go out, the engine turns over but the RS1600i will not start until i have twiddled with the wires and the dash boards lights come up then the engine will start and run with no problems. I have traced it down to 2 sets of wires :-ġ) The fuel pump relay wire and fuel pump relay gets hot.Ģ) There are a bunch of wires which go from the steering weal via a multi plug to the engine bay. Improved wiring repair capability was a key request of technicians, FSEs and the TRP (Technician Repair. ![]() These tools coincide with the release by Ford of 9 terminal repair kits to allow you to repair connectors with damaged terminals instead of replacing an entire wire harness. Every time i start the car and drive it, the wiring on my RS1600i starts to smell like smoldering plastic and its worrying the hell out me as i dont want to loose her. allow technicians to easily remove terminals from Ford connectors.
