They have two seperate connections one for the drivers side and one for the passenger side if I remember correctly. So it could be a wiring/earth fault on the one side.

Craig, QuickClear is Fords trademark on the technology.

Why do they burn out so easily?

I had a brand new one put in the turbo and within a matter of months it had failed lines. The saph has quite a few failed lines too, but the granada has been good as gold.
