Ill let ya know as soon as i find out myself mate
im sure it wont be nothing much as you have had it running and working so i would assume it is either a sensor out of place setup etc... or one of the sensors or relays could be foobarbed
or in worst case sittuations like you said it could be the loom, but i wont know this untill i check it out. Will ring you once i get a time from the lowloader

I thought the headlights were on two white relays on the mk4 (?)
Chris - I think you need to do the old RTFM (read the fooking manual), check absolutely everything you can, ie: work out what it's not and see if it shortens the list in any way and go from there I know Escorts can melt/burn fuse boxes out so check the box is good for a start 
Failing that, a match and a gallon of petrol works really well
