Bad earth, clean them all up, run a temp earth straight to the bulbholder to verify.

y if its the car in the avaitor? and it is?

 

escorts and fiestas are known for fox box problems using causing the lights to play up!although it tends to effect the heater fan more in the fiestas!more then likely a crap earth!i would check the fuse box for any melted signs around the relays/fuses!

 

yea the fuel pump ones melted but ive found a new fuse board on the internet are they easy to fit tho?

i have just had a fuel pump fitted so maybe the mechanic's moved on of the earths

 

not a mega easy job!but not a major job for a car electrican!might be worth getting it checked out first

 

oki then thanks m8
