Hi there I have a Ford Escort Finesse S Reg 1998 1600 I had some repairs done to the car a few months back and the battery had to be disconnected This caused the stereo to reset and it is now asking me to enter the key code which unfortunately I do not have The stereo is a 6000 CD Tuner 1997 and the model serial no is M098531 The part no is 97AP 18C815 HA If anybody out there knows of a key code for this model it would be greatly appreciated Cheers Dan

I would say there is a short somewhere. You can get a resetable fuse.

Change the fuel regulator the wench is on in the picture

you will need to remove the glovebox/underdash to get to the pipework.be carefull not to disconnect any wires from the loom under the dash.removal of the front seat makes it easier to lay on your back when looking up...........

You might have a broken cable or the clutch pedal is broken at the top.Unless it a hydraulic clutch and the fluid level is low.

disconnect the battery for 1 minute and try again - ---quick fix possible with that---
if that makes no difference then I would like to know exactly what model of alarm and immobiliser the car has - what is the maker + model no/serialno of the keyfob for the alarm, I can get the info I need off that.
also you can check the fuse in the alarm if you know where the alarm is situated, it will have a fuse either on an inline fulseholder on as a spade fuse stuck into its casing somewhere - replace the fuse if blown and try again to start the car ------------ tell me the model no of your alarm and immobiliser if no joy after battery/fuses and I can read up on them and see if I can fix your problem...

sounds like your batterys flat

sorry to say not repairable, i also have escort zx2 and had the same issue, i had to replace the seat.

you dont need to disconnect battery, just remove the front grill as there is a bolt hiden behind that, there is a bottom bolt on the lamp and you may need to drop the bumper slightly to get to this, this is easy just remove the 2 crosshead screws by the wheel to drop the bumper slightly.

could be a wire problem, you probably just need a new guage

hi mate i hade this problem and it were the catlicconverter
