Ford Ikon water sensor malfunction

I had the same problem on my Ikon. The check engine light would come on and off, and it ran like a tractor sometimes! It was a real pain. Are we talking about the sensor that detects water in the fuel filter? That's the one that gave me grief.

That's precisely the one – the water-in-fuel sensor. Was your issue indeed with the sensor connections, as I suspect? What did it cost to fix?

Yes, that’s exactly it. While I initially suspected the sensor itself, it ended up being a faulty connection. Given the symptoms you describe, it would be best to take your car to a reputable mechanic. They will perform a thorough check of the sensor, the wiring, and the ECU. Better safe than sorry, especially when dealing with engine management systems.

For anyone battling the Ford Ikon water sensor issue: It was a dodgy connection. Cost 95€ for the fix. Runs like a charm again! The advice helped me focus the mechanic.
