Relay Problems

[Guest smegward]

ive got a slight problem with the relay box that comes off the battery randomly driving down the road the stereo headlights clock and dash lights will go off until the next bump the come back on or if you tap the relays they come back on, so im thinking get a new relay box but where stock them??? ford didnt have a clue what i meant and ebay's confusing as im not sure which is for my car? its a 1993 xr3i mk5

 

cheers

do you mean the fuse box? commen fault on mk5/6 i believe

[Guest smegward]

i dont think its a fusebox but coming directly off the live terminal on my battery is a black box with 2 relays in then it carrys on elsewhere the wiring

Thats the additional fuse bank that links directly to the live terminal on battery. Would suggest replacing the fuse themselves as the terminal itself is just flat plates inside unless there corroded. Never bought one. Worst case buy a new battery terminal and some inline fuses to replace it or go hunting for one at a scrap yard. Should be plenty there
