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.

Not starting

Ford Fiesta 2003 Hatchback  161034 miles
The engine is good it’s a petrol manual fiesta I think it’s the battery but when I try to start it, it try’s to turn over and then when I try again it just makes a ticking noise but if I jump start it, it works no problem but if I turn it off and try start it again it won’t start

Jump the car, after it starts disconnect the battery. If it does not stay running after you remove the cables then you need a new alternator.
If it stays running then you may need a new battery.

Intermittent low fuel warning

Ford Fiesta 2018 ST line 35000 miles
When driving with a full sufficient fuel my car will provide a warning that the fuel is low the fault sounds the notification sound illuminates the low fuel lamp on the dash and then clears the notification by its self. This happens at random speeds all levels of fuel in the tank etc.

Many failures

Ford Fiesta 2003  146000 miles
I would like to share all the Ford Fiesta's inconvenients. To start with, the thermostat box and the thermostat itself damage quite frequently due to the overheating. Due to a wrong design, when driving at 60 mph, an air leakage noise appears coming from the doors. It is not an economic vehicle and its suspension pieces damage very easily, just as the stabilizer links, the therminals and the brake security valve, which starts leaking. The clutch makes an annoying noise and the elevators break down. The shock absorber's rear bases rot and all the gearbox, automatic transmission and brake fluid are really expensive. However, I must admit that all vehicles actually fail at some point and have their pros and cons.
