Muppje Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 My windscreen needs replacing and well, might aswell upgrade aswell to a heated one.... Now if I was to get hold of the loom, how do I install it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pukkadeal Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Simply plugs in the under bonnet part of the loom , and fit a relay into the fuse box,as 99% of escorts have the interior part already installed ,if your paying for a heated screen ,enjoy the bill as its nearly double that of a normal green one Edited August 6, 2008 by 1pukkadeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppje Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Yeah, just got the loom... Not that fussed about the windscreen price, it's more expensive but super convenient Besides, chrisje has one, so can't be beaten by my own younger brother Edited August 6, 2008 by Muppje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppje Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Right, finally got off my arse and decided to at least attempt to see where the loom goes. On the drivers side, you're supposed to plug in a huge plug next to the ABS bits, except theres a plug already there with exactly the same colour wires going into it. Only thing missing is a separate wire that goes to the screen once in. Following this cable along the bulkhead, it looks identical to the heated screen loom, goes to the battery (black box thing next to it) and plugs in same colour cables again. Evan has the same fuse. Somewhere before the battery though, part of the bit of loom runs round behind it and then down into the passenger side wing. Without following it, wtf does it lead to and what does it do? From the most part, it looks identical to the loom I'm supposed to install but has a few missing parts i.e. the plug that goes to the screen on the drivers side, and also the plugs for the heated washers.
