The Ford supplied Sierra 4×4 Supplementary Workshop Manual is a “must have” for any owner of one of these cars. The biggest problem can be actually finding one to purchase. I got lucky and managed to get mine direct from a Ford dealer, brand new for Ł8, who was having a clearout. They do appear regularly at autojumbles and it is just a case of keep looking. The manual only covers those items unique to the 4×4 Sierra’s and are to be used in conjunction with the Ford Sierra Workshop Manual.

The wire colors on my vehicle do not match the colors in your diagram. What do I do?
Unfortunately vehicle manufactures frequently change the color of the wires in their wiring harnesses. The wire that we need locate is the factory door-ajar signal located inside each door. You can find this circuit by removing the door panel and physically tracing the wires leading to the door latch / switch. Once you have located the bundle of wires that go to the switch you will need to isolate the door-ajar circuit. This circuit will be a “negative switching” circuit. Negative switching indicates that the circuit will be in a “ ground “ state where the circuit is connected to the minus or negative side of the battery with the door open (Except 02 – 03 Ford Super Duty and 08 Ford Super Duty where the circuit is closed to ground with the door shut). With the door closed the circuit will sometimes show a very small amount of current or nothing at all.
