Hi guys, I have a 2010 fiesta zetec I will be taking it out on a track for the first time in the next month.
I have been told the esc may cause issues on the day. Does any one know how to turn the esc off manually or a wiring diagram so I can install a switch to turn it on and off for track days. Thanks guys.

I have pulled the fuse out on my ESC system in my WT. Some fault lights come up obviously, but it also shuts off the ABS (atleast i assume as that light came up also).
I also found my steering went into a really light setting, rather than its normal gain weight as you speed up setting.

The rest of the car worked as normal.

on the ws zetec you can retro fit an esc off switch, the metal model has one. all you need is the same switch, connector is tucked up behind lower center consul panel, switch fits in card holder, just pull out panel find connector remove card holder fit switch panel in re install panel, 15 mins tops. plug n play.
