Works great!
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 negative cable with batt sensor cable & connector
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.

Needs a BMS reset
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.

Works as described.
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.

Works well for 2014 Focus SE
The negative terminal on my 2014 Focus SE had corroded to the point that it could no longer fully connect to the battery, the BSM module was visibily damaged, and the sensor pigtail connector had been eaten through. This was causing all sorts of trouble with starting the car, random error messages, and issues with the transmission shifting at the right times. I couldn't the find authentic Ford parts for this anywhere, so I thought I'd give this a try.Installing was about as easy as possible for working on this car (meaning it is going to be a bit of a pain no matter what - you need to first remove the entire engine air filter assembly before you can even start on the battery). Once it was in, everything fired up normally, no errors, no issues. Even the transmission is back to shifting smoothly (a minor miracle in itself for this car). We'll see how it does long term, but for now this seems to be exactly what I needed.As others mentioned, there is ZERO documentation/instructions included with this (beyond a sticker on the box stating what it is), so you are on your own with that. You'll need to cut the old pigtail wire and splice the new one in, so make sure you are comfortable with that. Wire colors do not match, so take a good look at how both the old and new connectors are oriented and make note of which wire goes where before you cut. You'll also need a ratchet with metric sockets to handle all of the bolts. Plan on this taking a couple of hours if you aren't the type that spends a ton of time under the hood of this car.

2014 Ford Focus Replacement
So far cable works as a direct replacement in a 2014 Ford Focus. Fixed problem immediately. OEM part from Ford is 3x the price at my local dealer so pretty happy to have found this item!

EDITED TITLE 6/29/23: This caused my windshield wipers to die.
(Original post) Local parts shops sell this as two separate parts for twice as much money and the pigtails from them don't distinguish between positive and negative wires.. This is different. In fact, it's practically perfect. It comes preassembled and the pigtails have red and black wires to make it possible to wire the assembly correctly the first time.6 out of 5 stars.(6/29/23 UPDATE)This was not what I was looking for. I own a 2014 Focus S and according to the shop manager at my local Ford dealership, it burned up my wiper motors and damaged my battery. Due to this, I can no longer vouch for the quality of this product.

Electrical wire connection necessary
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.
