Rally Pack 2000 Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 There seems to be a loom boom going on? Maybe we can pool our resources and find a supplier to properly copy them and buy all at once? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbsmk2 Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Ive laid mine out today connected a battery connect some earths and plugged everything in, as ive never seen my car run. no indicators, no hazards, heater blows on 1 speed, no heat, headlights ok, no wiring for side lights at all. No interior light wiring, no washers and i still need to plug the rear loom in...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 As i'm currently renewing my entire loom on my RS2, all I can say as they are incredibly complicated and more or less totally illogical in regard the stalk switchgear and the fusebox distribution. Colours are not consistent through the loom and vary from those stated on the available schematics! I'm about 50% done now, then i've the EFI wiring to do - what could possibly go wrong? One thing in the original looms that wouldn't be economically viable with reproduction looms - the weight of copper used! There are lots of sections of 3, 4 and 5mm cable whereas modern looms rarely use anything more than 2mm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monza Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Greame at G S Escorts put me onto Auto Sparks. They make wiring harnesses for most classic cars....look very good, but pretty pricey if you need it all. Worth a look tho....Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbsmk2 Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Yeah, i had seen these already. quite pricey but probably a sensible investment in the long term. Just more than I wanted to spend at the moment with the car eating more money than I’m earning at the moment Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 The available wiring diagram for the mk2 escort is the worst I’ve ever seen. It may be me but I’m unable to follow the wires from where they go into a central line as it looks on the drawing and get where it comes out 🤔 unlike previous wiring diagrams I’ve had you can follow every individual wire from start to finish inc colour change and T offs to supply other things on the same circuit. If I could I’d be re- making my own harness as I did on the Tina and the Anglia also the engine loom on the cossy. With Katanas reports on the issues he’s had with his harness I would be having more than second thoughts on paying a lot of money for a harness that basically a lump of wires and no traceable connect ability to switchgear or other units using the original a Ford drawing.

Pbsmk2 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Given im on a budget, Ive gone for a second hand loom, hopefully I can make one good loom from 2, we’ll see..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbsmk2 Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Second hand loom arrived yesterday, looks in better condition than my old one, so plugged everything in and see what i get. extra terminal on headlight switch, i suspect this may be for factory sport lights? Also wiring to this switch is coloured differently, deep joy. missing wiring for extra relay for intermittent wipe, another issue to solve. More fun on the way i fear......

Pbsmk2 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Night..... mare so, loom altered, I now have intermittent wipe, but no washers. Looks like a dodgy switch. the new loom has more plugs on than the original, so thats good. old loom had domestic 3 core used to headlights, not a wire in sight for front side lights.... new loom has all headlight feeds cut for what must have been a relay? Not professionally done. this could be a long job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monza Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Long slow process in my experience.... and that was just re-installing my original loom, trying to work out what's there and what isn't and why!! Never mind using 2 looms to make 1...enjoy Great when finally sussed and everything works as it should Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
