Hi,
I started my 20 plate Ecosport ST Line the other morning to find that the ABS and TCS lights were on. A warning came up stating that Hill start assist was not available and also the park pilot was not working.
I drove to my Ford dealer who said that he had a customer in recently with the same problem and that it turned out to be that the ABS sensor loom had been chewed by a rodent. I left the car with the dealer and received a call stating that the cause was the same and something had bitten clean through.
So not covered by warranty and to supply and fit a near n/s rear ABS loom plus some rat tape to cover the new wire, equals £180.
I asked them to keep the old part for me to inspect. I have looked at it and to me, it shows no sign of being chewed but looks like it has been cut/spliced quite cleanly in a single part of the wire.
Has anyone else experienced or heard of anything like this? I am wondering whether it could have been caught by road debris or if there is some design fault where this occurs?
I would be keen to hear if this sounds familiar to anyone?
Thanks Scott
