OK, so Sunload Connector is in XR-with-Audio-Prep Loom but not in XT Loom. Good to know.

There are separate fuses for those two lines in the Mobile Phone connector. It's not a problem with one of these two fuses is it? Otherwise make sure that all those connectors in the back of the fuse box are pushed in right.

The other point to check is the clockspring. But I'd be checking the pins on the connector under the steering column to make sure that the appropriate pins go 'closed circuit' correctly when auto lights are selected - that way we eliminate the switch. It's sounding like maybe the Dash Loom itself may have some issues if the mobile phone is problematic too.

I was speaking to expression this morning and neither of us can remember if the Auto lights is wires-to-bem-CAN-to-ic or wires-to-ic-CAN-to-bem. The IC seems to have all the testable auto-lights parameters, but you can't test that on a low series cluster. For some reason I thought headlights all wired to the BEM and Indicators wired to the IC.

And thank goodness I didn't get the same issue as you on the drivers side actuator! I did mine before I had full diagnostic access at home and that one would have stuffed me good. But if anyone does theirs and has the same issue, I can tell them what commands to issue using a cheap ELM327 scantool to fix it...! (I've found some for $50 on eBay recently - including shipping!)

I'll help lookup the wiring loom info tonight if I get the chance.

Someone else has asked this question, and as of about 3 or 4 months ago there wasn't any apparent way of getting an old non-clock DZ ICC to show the clock. But they may have been working on it since then. I'd be interested too.

See, I don't have the dash pods, so I got a dash clock.

If the answer is a persistent no Re: ICC Clock, then you're only other option may be an FPV ceiling mount clock. Not the cheapest plastic taiwanese LCD clocks I've ever seen....and I still can't get used to having the clock on the ceiling in our Tory ghia.

no power at the mobile phone plug thats weird. Maybe the loom has some pins in a different spot somewhere?

I've gotten used to it to the point when I get into the work BF Futura wagon, the left hand goes for a non-existant starter button, and I look up for a clock. I get asked why I always tap the dash before starting the car lol.

As for the windscreen mount clock is the loom for it available in the roof on non FPV/Terry's ?

Nope. Just like the auto-dimming mirror - there's a custom loom for them. But you can take power from the overhead lights.

I wouldn't think so. Remember, I have a BF Fairlane loom under my dash, and there was no real difference. This loom even had the 'fix' for the low-volume Sat Nav issue - which means there's a mono-preamp stuck to the back of the Fuse Box - and I just hooked up a Bluetooth Kit to my car 2 weeks ago.

Mind you, my reverse camera video converter has been taking power from the Mobile Phone connector Acc line since it was installed a few years ago - and worked just fine on both the BA XR+Audio Prep and BF Fairlane+Audio Prep+SatNav looms.

The Phone-Audio-Input line goes to the ICC. But of the 4-pin power socket, the 2 x Power and 1 x GND lines travel only a short distance to the Fuse Box, and the Mute line goes to the ICC.

Autolights.

So what appears to happen is:

(1) Power is supplied from battery
(2) Stalk is at Permanent Low (could be permanent high or flash high. Flash High has it's own earth. Permanent settings depend on rotary dial setting)
(3) Rotary Dial - either earth the light settings for parkers/headlights, or pass headlight earth through to BEM controlled GND
(4) BEM controls the Earth by using the auto on/off settings.

This is all the low-power side of the low/high headlight relays and the tail relay.

HOWEVER, there's also a line (1416) that appears to run from the switch to the Cluster - which would most likely be the line that tells the cluster whether auto-lights are on or not - so the IC stops b**ch if the lights are left on when ign is off (which my low cluster does annoyingly.)

So it now appears wired to BOTH the BEM and the IC.

Some good interesting info there lukey. I seem to remember somewhere someone mentioning (vague I know) that the premium XR ICC can indeed display a clock, but its not a WDS option, and only ASL can enable it. I'm not sure what I'll do with my ICC and dodgy CD player yet but if I do end up sorting something out with ASL I'll definately be looking into this option. I don't really want the FPV roof clock as I think it looks like a cheap piece of tat

Enabling clock and clock overlay (when using Video) are options on the Premium ICC yes. I've come across some bit values via OBD2 that I can turn on and off. I haven't found these values in the IDS though. So this might be what you're talking about.

I've tried setting the same value on a DZ ICC without success though. This is the holy grail at the moment - there was lots of discussion about it on AFF, and there was a picture somwhere. I'll see if i can dig it up.

Found one at last.

I just thought i'd attach a before pic from sunday.

Also, it appears the clock is only only late model high series ICC's.
Im Driving a turbo territory at the moment which has the clock displayed with the trip computer.

Well mate, if you do get a new or replacement CD player, I might have some interest in your faulty unit....


Lukeyson

Clock looks very out of place there. I thought it was in the top right corner (above the A/C Off nessage in that pic).

Where it is however, there's enough room to split the trip computer 'box' and make a another one for the clock.

When Ford intergrate it they do a good job.

Hey FNP, what was your spec before the ACC? XR and Premo or XT Povo.. for the sunload sensor

Cheers

Mine is MK1 BA XR Premo
