I didn't remove the bumper again to swap the wiring over and tape the connectors (I removed the horizontal cover underneath - which just gave me enough room). If I still have problems with the connectors, I will give your method a go in preference to removing the bumper again - thanks.
Ah - is that what that extra cable was! I haven't noticed any errors popping-up. Maybe I should get my ODBLink gadget out and have a peek?
Yes, you need to remove the lights which means bumper must come off. But its not as bad as some say so long as you remove the wheels and inner plastic well liners its much easier. Even the hidden bolts are no longer a problem.
Yes, because you need to get the headlights out to install the DRLs - and you can't get the headlights out without removing the bumper.
Yes, you will not see it as a dash error. Only via an ODB interface.
you can see some pictures in my bumper removal guide
It feeds three sensors. Two for airbag crash impact and one for pedestrian impact which deploys the bonnet hinge breakaway mechanism.
I was at the Ford parts distribution centre and the guy looked up the sensors and it stated the two outside ones are for airbag deployment and the centre one for bonnet release. He showed me on screen. But it doesnt make sense as its one feed. I am now thinking the sensors mounted under the radiator cover are airbag deployment and all three bumper sensors are pedestrian bonnet release?Yes it's that stupid pedestrian protection sensor

Check my edited post... I did see his screen and it did note two airbag and centre for bonnet release but it still doesnt make sense as the bumper sensors are on one string.
