Have you actually got the dipstick plugged in at the top?

Is the petrol tank connector still plugged in under the back seat?

There could be a bad joint on an earth cable in the loom somewhere - the earth points are shared between more that one light.

You can simulate a wear indicator by plugging a resistor into the socket at each front wheel instead. I forget what value is required but I can find out.

To be honest it wouldn't be a Mk3 Escort if you didn't have a few of those lights flashing
Eat your old boots then mate, ive seen plenty of faulty ones! The one on my orion at the moment sometimes decides to tell me the oil level is low...........when it shouldnt even be monitoring the dipstick level when your driving as obviously the oil is circulating around the engine, and if it was the wiring plug the light would flash as it would be open circuit.

they are archaic pieces of poo inside.
