Speedometer stops working and transmission light turns on SolvedSolved

Ford Fiesta 2010  128000 miles
Only some days after driving along a street which was a little bit flooded, I was driving normally when a yellow light with a punctuation mark in the middle turned on, the one that has to do with the transmission according to the manual. Suddenly, the speedometer stopped working and the car wouldn't gear (it is automatic), but after a while of waiting, it started working properly back again. I took the vehicle to the agency, it was checked and it is not failing any more, but still that yellow light appears every now and then and disappears the same way. Might it be that there is still some water in any contact? If anyone knows something about this problem, I would really appreciate your help.

Probably, some transmission sensors' connectors were wet, so I recommend you to remove them one by one, clean each of them with contact cleaner, disconnect the battery for around 10-20 minutes and that should solve the problem. I would personally choose to disconnect the negative terminal.

Dshboard failure SolvedSolved

Ford Fiesta 2006  160000 miles
It is almost 2 years since the dashboard started turning off for around 5 seconds and then activates again. It does also lose energy when it is stopped, and I notice this thanks to the clock, which suddenly indicates 0:00:00 and this means there was an energy loss. I have recently taken it to the electrician because the fan was not working at idle speed, only at high speeds and not even properly: making a huge noise and starting every 4 or 5 minutes. It was checked and, effectively, there were some failures in its resistance. Simply by welding it, the problem was solved. But the dashboard fail… Read complete

The same thing happened to my Ford Fiesta 2007 and it ended up being that the wire that is adjusted to the positive terminal was damged and did not make a good contact. When driving along a bump or hole on the street, such wire was disconnected from the battery or got a bit loose and the dashboard then turned off due to a lack of energy. I replaced the wire for a new one and the problem was solved.

Can't reset the system

Ford Fiesta 2015 1.25 27000 miles
Can anyone tell me how to reset the system on my fiesta 1.25 (1965 model). I recently went to Wales and just before arriving at my destination I got a message on the screen telling me to check my tyre pressures, which I did put some more air into them but the screen tells me each time I switch on "check tyre pressures" I've read the manual and all it tells me is to reset the system.It does'nt say how. 78 year old confused lady.
