Help Needed for Ford S Max

[ukheman 10]

Hi there folks , I have a 2008 Ford S Max Titanium X with the following problems

 

The electronic parking brake does not disengage on the left had side

 

The seat belt warning light and sounder is continuously ringing..

 

I bought the car brand new from Ford who basically are wanting a blank cheque now.

 

They had made me buy a new caliper which did not resolve the issue..

 

I dont want to go down the route of fighting with ford as I'm desperate to get my car back on the road ASAP

 

 

Can anyone recommend a local garage that has dealer level software or equivalent that could fix my car. As i need it daily for the school run and work and currently its just parked up.

 

 

K Regards

When two separate things go wrong at the same time that are electrical, first thing I would look at is the age and condition of the battery.

Agreed, whenever the battery is low on my Range Rover it tells me that there's a gearbox fault!.

I know its not the battery as this has been checked out by Ford and the AA separately

 

but thanks for the hint..

 

sorry I wasnt more clear.. the above issues didnt happen at the same time..

The EPB is notoriously bad; they stopped using it on the C-Max (tho I've had 2 C-Maxes and never had one fail). Generally once it has died, it's dead and needs a load of work on it, or replacing with a manual handbrake if the S-Max ever had one.
