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.

The cable fit but only after opening the battery clamp. The clamps taper was the reverse of the battery terminal. The sensor’s connector had to be spliced due the original not fitting the new sensor.

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

2016 Ford Focus ST. severe corrosion on the negative terminal caused the wipers to stop working. This connector was damaged and needed to be cut off. Spliced and soldered new wire connectors and everything works again.Factory white wire -------- New red wireFactory gray and purple wire ------- New black wire

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.

These OEM are pricy this is a cheap alternative that functions well. You will need to change out the pin but it even comes with it. Only issue is doesn’t snug to the terminal as tight as it should but works fine no complaints saved me money.

Works great, no voltage drop or anything. Works as intended for a great price. Installation was fine, the cables are red to white, black to grey and purple.Fits as intended. You’ll need to do a battery module reset after installing this, you can look it up on google.

Being that this isn't an OEM product, I was very skeptical about compatibility but I took a chance and purchased one for my 2015 Ford Escape S. So far, so good. Fits and works quite well. Hopefully it will hold up for a few years. Time will tell but for now I'm happy with my purchase and am considering buying another one as a backup just to have on hand. For those that still might be a little fuzzy about what wire goes where, this is how I wired it. Red Wire from plug gets wired to the vehicle Brown Wire With Red Stripe. Black wire from plug gets wired to vehicle white wire. Worked just fine. No issues with wipers.
