Can someone help me please, I was surpose to leave for England at 2 am this morning. Got in my mk6 escort, put the lights on, thay came on and then all of a sudden all the eletric's went out. I can still start the car but have no lights, hazards, radio, interior light, hight beam and rear lights apart from the fog light.

Cheers all

Sounds like a fuse box issue. Take it off and dry it out and re fit it see what happens.

lighting issues on mk6s are normally always stalks as they control the lot, radio and int light is normally a seperate fuse

sridgett

Yeah we're gonna try this. Cheers

Naa all the fuses are good. I also have break lights and reversing lights. I noticed too the clock has stoped.

clock radio and int light are normally all on one fuse, but I suspect your stalks are the main cause, simply keep turning the lights on and off wiggling the stalk switch as you do it because even if they flicker it prooves its them or get a multi tester on it and see if its doing its job, mega common fault

Or take stalk off and clean contacts had this before

It is the fuse box. Now to fix the bloody thing

mk6 fuseboxes are normally very good as the mk5s were well known for faults, you are unlucky fella

sridgett

It's looking that way yes lol

sridgett

Yeah we took it apart and the box is pissed through. Hopefully we can dry it, and there is another ferry tomorrow. Hopefully i'll be on it.
