Hi. My S2 has developed a problem with the lights, dip beam both sides work (1st click). Main beam both sides (2nd click), dont work and the dip beams go out. High beam works. Swapped the 2 little brown relays round and still the same. Also I swapped the light stalk over, changed the bulbs for known working ones. Still the same.

Any help will be much appreciated thanks.

 

Probably an earthing problem mate, escorts are notorious for em!

 

i had the same prob turned out to be a wiring fault under the fuse box ie the connector had been accidently pulled off. hope this helps.

 

dude it aint the brown relays, its the white ones.


having the same prob with the van at the mo.

 

I had this prob on my old Series 2 it was the white relays need to take them out and clean the contacts and then get a small screw driver and bend the connections in the fuse box a little bit.

What i done on my old Series 2 was lifted the fuse box then re run the wires to the white relays to in side the car under the dash never had any probs after

Thanks for all your help.

 

I had this problem many moons ago only mine went out at about 90mph!
There was a faint smell of burning plastic, when i investigated, the contacts in the fuse box had opened up casing them to arc between the spades on the white relays causing heat build up.

In the end, i had to lift out the fuse box and put new spade connectors on a few of the wires as the original connecters were FUBAR`d, was not an easy task! Been ok since tho!
