check the plug onto each back light mate my old s2 did the same it was them shorting out put new bulb holders in and new plugs never did it again

get on the net and look up a firm called mafco we stock their parts at work and they used to do the holders and the plugs for mk3/4 escorts in their range

sounds like i might have to replace the stalk, have you ever fitted an aftermarket wheel?
sometimes if you fitt it to tight the boss eats away the stalk plastic and the metal inside it is exposed, the boss and metal stalk then blow the fuse in the box.
had this done on my XR3i, turned out i forgot to re-fit the white plastic grommet.
