Paul Grainger Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 The dip beam should light up to 20% power when the ign is switched on, this is called dim/dip. It works by back feeding the relay. It sounds like a fuse or relay problm to me. They are all located in the fuse box. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allblue Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Fuse box probably a likley culprit. Does your heater blower work? This is usually the first to go. I have done a technical article on this site explaining how to repair the fusebox. Its cheap and simple if you can solder. Don't go second hand, they will likley suffer similar problems too and there are many different variants of fusebox for different specs of escort, so you have to ensure you get the right 'box. Check out my article and remove the fusebox and check for the defects on the 'box as per my article. That should answer your question. Another problem could be your wiper stalks. These too are known to suffer from faults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaun Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Have you tried the bulbs???? other than that the stalks are prone as been said before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
