Negative Battery Cable Fit for 2012-2018 Ford Focus Escape, Battery Management System Negative Cable AV6Z-10C679-P AV6Z10C679P

Worked well for my 2017 Ford Escape, don't buy a cable unless it has the sensor connector, most are corroded and not usable, buy this product with the battery sensor cable.

I have had this in my 2017 Ford Focus SE now for over a week. No issues. Remote start works again, windshield wipers don't turn on at random times. Very easy to install, as long as you have the right tools. I used a 1/2 inch socket for the bolt in the frame, which is very easy to see and access, and a 10 mm wrench to access the bolt on the negative cable. A socket was too tall to fit in there. I bought a heat shrink tube kit a while ago, and used them to tie the wires together. The wires are pretty thin, so be careful. I got which wires to hook up from another review on here and works fine. I just looked again, and its red to white, black to grey and purple, or grey with a stripe. The color on my wires were pretty faded, but I could see which was which. Super easy. Wrap it all tightly in black tape, and then reset the bcm, and you are good to go. Google how to reset bcm on your car. Should be like flick the high beams 5 times, then press the brake 3 times, and the battery light should flash within about 10 seconds

Good price

Great so far, make sure to connect BMS pigtail correctly WHITE is POSITIVE, GREY/VIOLENT NEGATIVE. Only complaint is the product isn’t super sturdy, in other words not the same quality as the original. That being said it fixed my vehicles memory issue ( resting the computer or dash every time I’d start.)

My 2017 Ford Focus started turning on the windshield wipers out of the blue and it turned out my ground cable for battery was corroded at the post terminal. There is a piece of electronics that comes attached to the negative battery cable on the post/terminal end. That piece of electronics has 2 wires on a connector that needs to be connected to the existing wires (not sure what this connector is for or where the wires go but possibly provide power or sensor of some type having to deal with the windshield wipers).Ford did wire the windshield wipers to the negative battery cable as an indicator in case of ground or cable issue. I soldered the thin plug wires before installing on to the battery post. I also used a rubber sleeve I put over the wires before soldering that I slid over the soldered wires and used a lighter to heat up the rubber sleeve which then shrunk over the soldered wire making an airtight seal.Installed a few months ago. Works great so far. No issues.

Bought to replace a corroded negative cable for a 2018 Ford Escape. Installed a new battery and the next morning, new battery was dead. Jumped it, ran the vehicle for a few days, and it woke up dead again a week later. Took it to a shop to find out if it was a bad battery or a bad cable. Shop said the cable had the negative sensor installed upside-down so it was draining the battery due to a manufacturing defect. Cost me $400 out of pocket to fix.

I assumed that this would work on a 2015 Ford Focus because it looks identical but the taper for the battery post clamp is machined in the opposite direction. In other words, this cable’s sensor will sit on the right side of a battery post but the Focus needs to have the sensor on the left.I’m sure it works great for the Escape’s battery and wiring configuration so I won’t knock off any stars for my assumption.

Make sure to replace the connector first, because this Negative Battery Cable is different from the factory one., meaning, the convex of the integrated Battery management system (BMS) sensor is different than factory. Being said that, keep your old connector handy, because if this cable fails while on the road and you have to go to the dealer to get a new OEM cable, it will not fit anymore unless you put back the old OEM connector. Another solution, buy two of this! and Always carry one in the car!.
