How to deactivate the immobiliser of the Ford Fiesta?

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK 5, MK V - Years 2002-2008
Part: Checks and maintenance

To deactivate the immobiliser of the Ford Fiesta, you need to completely remove the module that regulates its operation, so it can be replaced with another equivalent module that allows you to bypass the system. To perform this operation, you will need to dismantle the part of the dashboard immediately below the steering column: here you will locate the control unit that manages the immobiliser's operation. By disconnecting and loosening the screws that secure this control unit, you will be able to remove it from its housing and insert the new device.
