We have, at the request of Ford Australia, removed the wiring diagrams for both the BA Falcon and the Territory from the gallery.
At present these are the only ones impacted by the request but we may well find that the rest come under threat over the next few days. Whilst we are not happy with this decision we are canvassing alternative options with FoA at the moment. Regards Russ

Did they get sick of their own "engineers" referring back to it Russ?

The stated reasons are twofold.
Firstly the actual publications themselves are governed by copyright law. Secondly they charge the dealers (or anyone else) a lot of money for the entire manuals and they don't particularly like the idea of anyone accessing them freely. One of the options presently being canvassed is to create MUD maps of the actual diagrams and we are reviewing whether there is (1) a simple way of creating these and (2) whether the completed output is actually useable. Cheers Russ

Special thanks to you Russ and others who donate so much time and effort in order to help other Ford owners. I have a 2005 TS Territory AWD and with a factory fitted 1600kg towpack and wiring kit. I was hoping to find a wiring diagram to help me, and the local dealer, fit a Prodogy electric brake booster. I was hoping it may plug directly into a connector above the brake pedal and provide a circuit directly to the Britax 12 pin trailer connection without the need to run any other wires. Can anyone help?
