My mate had this on an Escort cos, i think it was something to do with the fuse box?
Pretty common thing to go on mark 5/6 Escorts...
Need to find out myself, as my girlfriends cabrio is doing the same.

try flicking the indicator switch (sidelight bit on end) on/off a few times, these are also a common failure point on them, the trouble is though, u have to replace the wholle thing (ie both sides) which is about 70 quid from ford
