Ford Fiesta Hacker's Guide - things not in the manual

*admin - If this thread qualifies to be sticky, I humbly request it to be so.

As reaction to the issue of having some sort of auto lock, speed sensing or not and my own desire to have it, I formed a plan to do a mod so that when first stepping on the brakes, FoFi will lock itself. Stepping again will have no effect unless it is unlocked first.

Here are the initial steps towards that goal. You might have your own plans for this vicinity of the FoFi in terms of audio and such so I thought it might be useful for other things as well

Nako as much as I want some form of auto lock, I just don't have the guts and more importantly the expertise to do what you are doing so I will just stick to the good old habit of locking! :grin:

Thanks to Sir Tidus, I first saw this:

Researching further, I found this:

" To get to it, do the following:

1) Put key in ignition (do not turn)

2) Hold the button on the rev side and after around 3 seconds turn the key two clicks (don't start engine)

3)On the screen it will say "Test" and you can cycle through various things by pressing the button.

Some things include: gauge test, LED test, digital speedo etc. "

Opening driver side door panel. I assume other doors will be easier.

To use or just see "secret compartment" between radio and A/C controls, use a knife to gently pry it open at the center.

To put it back, you must separate the metal clip from the peg, return it into the hole in the dash, then push the door back to normal.
