Haha we ended up with the car through a Great Family Car Swap, swapping two other cars to get one that could fit three of our existing car seats side by side.
I guess if wiring is the issue, an auto electrician might be able to sort it without needing to go to the Ford dealer (we had it serviced at Ford one time, one time, because it was impressed on us that it was important to get the software updates. But the bill made me rethink how important software updates are).
Car dealers are thieves, always have been. At that age, you'll probably be better off at an independent mechanic, although fault finding on a vehicle like that can be pretty intense.
I was under the impression only the authorised Ford people would have access to software updates if that was the issue. I'll check in the the local auto electrician to see if they think they can sort it.
