Sir you just saved me a lot of money in car repairs & towing i hit a pot hole & the mechanic said he will have to remove the petrol tank to check why the pump ain't working and we have to tow the car into his shop i went online saw your video & i just replaced the tyres went on my way thank you so very much you're beer is always cold in my fridge
Hi, thanks for this. My son's car wouldn't start after a minor front end shunt. This video helped me enormously, I'd never have found out about the 'yellow' switch without it! Thanks again!
Thank you very much for the valuable information I changed the water pump and timing belt on my ford fusion, engine failed to start but after watching your video the car started thank goodness and thanks to you god bless you bro
YOU ARE A WIZARD!! My fiesta mk6 literally sounded exactly like that! I had changed the spark plugs and battery, but still sounded like this, after a click if a button and a quick rev... BOOM we have life again in little miss daisey, THANK YOU!!
Hi skagslag Thank you for your comment in this particular situation this was the cause of the non starting car ..this catches many people out this may not be your problem but as per video if you’ve had a little shunt or hit a pot hole this can happen it’s a safety device 😊
Hi Skagslag thank you for the nice comment I’m pleased my video was able to help you.In this particular occasion this was the fault with the car due a sudden start/ stop of the car making it think it was involved in a impact this may not be your fault with your car just fault find away I’m sure you will find it .. remember simple simple 1st 😊
Very nice Richard, thanks for the tip. Mine is intermittent starting at the moment. I had this with another car a few years ago, turned out to be the relay, after checking the pump under the seat. So now I'm going straight to the relay & maybe the shut off switch after watching this video. Stay safe you and yours. Nice one, thanks again. PS Mine is a Ford Fusion Zetec though!
Hi Ilovetosingem Thank you for your kind comments on my channel I wish you luck with fault finding on your car I’m sure you will find out what the issue is 😃
@@richardshomemechanics5566 Hi Richard. I swapped the relay with another and there you go, all OK. Now thinking back, the car wasn't pulling as it should have. Now it seems much better. I'm thinking that the points in the relay weren't contacting all the time, therefore, the petrol wasn't continuous! So not pulling as it should have been. Thanks again.
Is it the same for the 05-08 mk6 Fiesta diesel 1.6 tdci. I cannot hear fuel pump priming and engine turns but will not fire up. Car battery fully charged.
Hi, I have an issue with my rev counter, idling very low, & I’m not sure whether it’s down to crank shaft sensor or something else. I’ve heard the throttle body needs to be reset after disconnecting the battery - I’ve just changed the water pump. Thanks!
I got the same car and we use it at home for fun on the countryside so we kind of drive on rough terrain so my question is: can i remove this switch so it doesnt turn on everytime i go over a bump a little too hard and how do i do this? I just want to keep driving and not have to hit this switch very often. Hope to hear from you soon mate because this video was very helpful
Hi Richard i have the 2010 version 1.4 tdci version of this car havent tried the fuel cut off valve switch like as you describe an rcd where would i expect to find this?
Hi Richard thank you for ye video. I have followed the solution and the fuel isolator did click. However when I start the engine it turns over and o can get it to rev, but as soon as I take my foot off the gas it dies. Do you have any idea what could be causing this or any other ideas I could try please. Thank you Garry
Thanks for the video Richard... Much appreciated... But say the car doesn't start even with the fuel isolator switch activated, what do you suggest I try next?
Hi if your car is not starting it could be a number of things Fuel starvation / no spark / low compression/ cam belt / chain had snapped it’s really time to start fault finding by elimination of each potential fault .. hope that helps thank you for watching my video and commenting on my channel Richard 😀
wow ! i have the mk6 fiesta facelift and didn't know about the fuel isolater switch, thanks a lot rich. i'm 62 and after many years of being totaly useless at car maintanace i'm now just starting to learn how to fix my own car instead of letting the garage do it. i've only just learned how to do a spark plug change and your videos will be a great learning tool. one question i have rich is i have 2 drive belts that i would like to change. i know one is for the alternator but the smaller one further back i'm not too sure about, what would that be for and what is the name of both belts so i can google for the right belts? thanks mate,
Hello Richard I am having the same problem my 1.4 2008 Ford Fiesta is turning over but not starting i have spark and I tested the fuel pump and that is not the issues I have notices that the spark plugs are dry so there is no fuel getting through I dropped a bit of petrol down the cylinder and it the velchile started but cut off just moments after I have tried the yellow switch and that doesn't seem to be the problem any advice at all would be appreciated the car hasn't been moved in 10 years it only has 16000 miles on it I have put fresh fuel in it thanks Richard
Hi Martin when you turn the ignition on can you hear the fuel pump start it will make a buzz sound and then stop it’s priming when it does this if you have no fuel in the cylinders that is where I would be looking at first
Hello have you resolved the issue ? I have the same problem yellow button works but after couple of minutes the engine turns off, I'll have to press again and again?

Hi Richard i have a Ford fiesta 1.6Tdci 2016 with the same problem,since i bought the car doesn't want to start,i saw that the previous owner bumped the car before selling as is,could it be the fuel cut off switch?
hi could you kindly help. Have a ford fiesta zetec 1.4 diesel 2009 reg. There isn't any fuel going through but my partner and i can't find a fuel cut off switch. The full manual doesn't show where it is either. Gone through all your other checks? So we are stumped.
Sir in my Ford Fiesta diesel 2006 the red light is blinking and mechanic told it is because of key coding, so we did that and still it’s not starting same red light blinking and not starting my car it could be the same reason as you shown in the video sir ?
Hi Azhar Immobiliser problems can be very tricky to sort out and often very expensive does the car actually turn over or try to start while the red light is flashing if not there is normally a fuse behind the glove box that controls the imobilizer this may well have blown
Unfortunately Azhar it’s still looking like you have a imobiliser problem if your mechanic has run a scan on your car and it’s still playing up you may have to go to a Ford specialist who would normally find theses faults as they are working on theses make of cars all the time 🙂
Hi @Richard?! Thanks for the video. My car (Same Model) now starts but the challenge is that the idle is very high, it idles up without even me accelerating it… what could be the problem??!! Kind Regards
Greetings from South Africa. I personally find that these Fiestas tend to start up far too quickly compared to other cars from other brands. It's like pressing a button for, let's say,, half a second. I also find that when warm they sometimes tend to give a bit of a misfire as the engine is firing into life. If my family had to get a Fiesta Mk6.5 with the 1.6l petrol engine one day how do we get the starter to turn the engine a bit longer, let's say for over a second before it fires into life and how do we get it to fire into life as smooth as possible. I also find that the exhaust tone tends to sound quite throaty, especially on the Mk6 models. The stock systems also tend to have a sporty sound on the 1.25l and 1.4l models.
@@richardshomemechanics5566 i just checked it seems like it had it before because i see wires thar are cut off and the switch which has nothing connected to it, perhaps the previous owner removed i dont know. the car was starting all along but it would cut while idling or driving, i checked it and discovered that it has a vaccum leak i then sorted that out, but it continued to cut while driving and shut off, now it only cranks but not start even when jump starting or pulling it, or putting a little bit of quick start in intake
@@akhonamvimbeli244 looks like your well on the way to sorting your non starting car keep going you will eventually find what’s wrong I would be looking along the lines that possibly your fuel pumps not working correctly you really require the car to.be scanned with a OBD2 scanner at least that should point you in the right direction of the fault especially as you say it will not start on easy start down the air intake
I have diesel Ford fiesta mk6 and all of sudden won't start. I checked to see if fuel was coming and not fuel so I tried to started with the spray and it worked but only while spraying and then would stop again. I went to check the switch like in the video and the wire is there with the black bit of the plastic but not the yellow end which would plug in. I checked all the relay and fuses and they're fine so I couldn't figure out what was wrong and I just left it. However few hours later I had a go again and started first time like nothing happened. Drove for 2 weeks, no issues and today when I jumped in to go to work it happened again. After 2 hours looking at everything again, I pressed that pump next to the engine, which brings the diesel and waited a while and done it again and eventually then the car started and it drives fine again but for how long I don't know. Anyway, I don't know why I haven't got the yellow switch in there
Hi Marius you will not have the yellow fuel cut out push button in yours as I believe they are only fitted in cars with petrol engines . In regards to the non starting you have all ready proved by putting easy start In through the air filter housing that there’s nothing actually wrong with the engine and your problem Is fuel delivery . you either have a problem with your fuel delivery pump or you are getting air into the fuel system either through the fuel filter or any other of the fuel delivery pipes . Check all connections are tight by going round checking with a spanner . You could have air trapped in your fuel system this will need to be primed out . You may have a little pump ball that you can use to bleed the fuel system to expel any trapped air . You may need to loosen one injector pipe to be able to achieve this . Kind regards Richard
@@richardshomemechanics5566 thank you for taking the time to reply. I thought of this as well. I think is getting air somehow into the system and I will have to inspect where which I'm not looking forward 😕.
@@richardshomemechanics5566 just an update. Since then, the car drove fine for about a week and was starting very well and then one morning didn't start again so went to the prime pump by the engine and pressed it several times and started again and then this issue became pretty much every other day so when I looked around I have noticed around the prime pump where the 2 clear houses houses into that little bit of black plastic, one of the house wasn't fully pushed in and was wet around it so I went to push it in but before putting any pressure it snapped the bit where the house goes on it and remained inside the house. It seemed like it was glued previously. Anyway in the end I had to get the prime pump with all the houses around it as the plastic bit doesn't come on it own so I replaced all that and may as well I thought if everything is taken off why not change the fuel filter too. Surprisingly it was even worse after all this work. The car won't even start after 4 hours from turning the engine off whiteout using the prime pump to bring the fuel. In the end I bought the fuel pump from inside the tank. took the fuel tank off as you can't access it from the back seat like other cars and replace it and since then no more issues. Stars fine so the problem was the sending unit from inside the fuel tank. Hope it helps anyone does come across this situation.
Pls assist, me missus fiesta 1.6 duratec starts & drives well...everyone in while it will crank & not start? 🤔 Sometimes cuts on road(when on incline) then crank and refuse to start What could be the problem? 🤔
Hi the little yellow cut off switch is located behind the glove box you need to. Remove the glove box it clips down from the front to gain access ...if that’s not the reason for the car not starting you will require to start fault finding going back to basics .. is there’re a spark .. has it got fuel getting to the spark plugs ... is there compression ... had the timing belt snapped ect or connect Obd2 scanner.to the car and scan for the fault..good luck I’m sure your find the fault Regards Richard
Hi buddy, I've got a mk6 fiesta ST and I have a problem, when my car is cold it will start up fine but soon as the car gets warm and I go to start it sometimes it will just crank over and I have to give it some throttle to start but then sometimes it will just start straight up even when warm its almost temperamental, its been annoying me for weeks now, I've changed the plugs, leads, coilpack, crank sensor and its really bugging me, I was told to check the fuel pump but when I put the ignition on you can hear it prime perfectly everytime. I'm not sure what else to try, I was gonna try the fuel cut off switch as you did in this video but as my car runs I cant see it being anything to do with this switch.

Hi Sir, I have Ford fiesta 1.4Tdci 2007 diesel. And I have a problem in my car I have full tank fuel but my fuel meter is Showing half or quarter tank sometime it will show Zero fuel. When it's showing zero fuel at that time I can drive the car but after 10 to 15 kilometre car will slow down while driving and engine will off. After that we need to Pump the fuel for more than 30mins then it will get start. We are facing this problem for last two months. Do you have any solution?
Hi Christson That certainly sounds like you fuel pump / fuel sender unit that is located in your fuel tank you will sometimes need a special tool to undo and remove from your fuel tank access to unit is from the top of the fuel tank you may need to remove carpet ect to gain access ..that is where I would be looking first

Hi Sir, I have Ford fiesta 1.4Tdci 2007 diesel. And I have a problem in my car I have full tank fuel but my fuel meter is Showing half or quarter tank sometime it will show Zero fuel.
When it's showing zero fuel at that time I can drive the car but after 10 to 15 kilometre car will slow down while driving and engine will off. After that we need to Pump the fuel for more than 30mins then it will get start. We are facing this problem for last two months. Do you have any solution?
Hi Christson
That certainly sounds like you fuel pump / fuel sender unit that is located in your fuel tank you will sometimes need a special tool to undo and remove from your fuel tank access to unit is from the top of the fuel tank you may need to remove carpet ect to gain access ..that is where I would be looking first
Thank you Sir
thx Richards
