I have a 1991 RS2000 16v, I think the fusebox may be causing problems (not the first to say that, I know!)

The fusebox code is BBC.
I know this code is a relic, does anyone know what it was superseded by?

And is this superseded part available from Ford?

Failing that, does anyone know someone who can refurbish or sells refurbished boxes?

All help appreciated.
Cheers.

is it getting wet?

and is it the long one?

the long ones were also fitted to the later spec granada's, i've got a few sititng int he garage last time i looked

Rob2k

Not that I know of mate.
What do you mean by long one? IIRC, it's the same as Escos, with 3 power wires?

My heaters have packed in, fuse is ok. Not checked electrics yet, but I know this can be a sign of fusebox doom.
I had a spare BBD code fusebox, but it looks like this...



Considering my fusebox is 7 years older than this one, i'm not getting my hopes up!

Dead common on mk5s Rob as no doubt others have told you, not heard of anyone doing fusebox repairs

Rob2k

Yeah, thought i'd been a bit lucky.

Going to have a proper look at it tomorrow.

bound to be a electrical guru who undertakes this sort of work but my gut feeling is it wont be cheap

Rob2k

Yeah, hope so.
Well, I hope it's something else to be honest!

I'm just wondering what fuse box codes were used on Mk5 escorts?
Only ones i've heard of are BBD (and my BBC)

i can see why you'd want to change that, it loks properly fucked

sure it's not the same as other escorts of the era?

Rob2k

That's not the one fitted mate, it was my spare that's now going in the bin!

I'm pretty sure any quite high spec escort from around that era has the same fusebox.
Later ones were the same code as Cosworth fuseboxes, that's why I asked on here!

BAA and BBD from memory

Rob2k

Cheers mate.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for one of those.

Quite a few people breaking 2000`s and 3i`s on fleabay

It can be fixed, but normally the fix is functional not pretty, you very carefully redo the tracks with wires in parallel of a suitable gauge to deal with the current draw of the circuits in question! I will be having to to do something similar for my toy. This is the only way you can fix some vintage or valve amps and can be rather time consuming!

If possible you can tidy up the track on the boards and re lacquer it too!

Iirc as long as it comes from the same spec car with things like electric windows, central locking, it should be the same box.

had this on my 96 plate 4x4 bought new box from ford Ł120 and then bought 3 spares

Rob2k

Only ones I've seen for a Mk5 are BAA & BBD, as Cossie Sean said.

IIRC, Mk6 ones have a 2 letter code, so steer clear of them.

Check the actual heater motor mate, I changed my Escos fusebox last year when my heater fan didn't work, everybody said the fusebox would be at fault.

changing the fusebox did fook all, it was a problem with the heater motor

Rob2k

Yeah, i'm not convinced it's the box I need to be looking at mate.

My cars spent more time in paint shops than on the road, not likely to be worn out!
