Hi all,
I have just changed the starter motor on my Fiesta MK6 and whilst removing the old one, this cable came off. There is only a limited amount of movement as its housed in a cable tidy with little stretch. I've had a good look round above and below the engine but I can't see anywhere obvious it may have come from. Please can you help identify it?
Thanks.
J.

I will have a go. This forum is primarily for the North American version of Fiesta. But, given its location I would say that it's for the oil pressure sending unit. It appears to be a 90 degree push on type of connector that would be common for that sender.

Thanks for that. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Any idea where it would attach to?

Again, my guess. It either attaches to the sending unit screwed into an adapter on the side of the engine block or somewhere near the oil filter.
Are you guys in the U.K. having problems with electrical grounds becoming corroded? It is a growing issue here in the States.

Fixed! I found the location just behind the oil filter so I was happy to get it reconnected. Thanks for your help!

You're right, it was near the oil filter (y). I haven't noticed any problems with grounds corrosion. :/
