Default Escort S2 fuse box???

i think theres a prob in me fuse box, cars fine in the dry but
when it rains i get into the car and its lucky dip on
whats gonna work, headlights dont work but only dip
doesnt work, main and side lights do, wiggle the 2 white
headlamp relays at the back of the fuse box and BAM there on!??
cooling fan doesnt aways work, keep losing power to the switch!

I think the relays for the door looks are in the drivers footwell. Behined the speaker. When mine got wet the door locks went mental.

With the lights. Mine are doing the same. Wiggle the 2 relays and they work for a while. I have to keep pulling them out and bending the connectors in the fuse box.

From what I have been told, to replace the fuse box is a right mare. You need to change half the wireing loom unless you fancy cutting the wires and soldering the box and wire to it.

Does sound like the relays mate, think if it was the fuse box the fuses would blow when they got wet, pull a relay out and give it a squash and see if there is any water come out.
