Electrical issues
Asked by Worriedbantamowner Jan 31, 2020 at 06:59 AM about the Ford Bantam
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Car fan, a/c, electric windows, indicators,
speedometer, rev counter, fuel gauge and temporary
gauge not working. They were intermittent yesterday
but today they just don't work at all so I suspect a
loose connection somewhere. Can any help me
narrow down the location of the problem. Lights,
hazards 12v plug and dash lights still work.

Check the fuses and relays . Relays are located on top of the fuse block call the central junction box.

I've checked all the fuses and all the cables seem fine. How do you check a relay?
As you push the relay in to the terminals, Check the terminals dont pull through the bottom. The small brown relays, swop them arround a bit. Check that the harness for open circuit. It's best if you get an Auto Electrician to thech this
I have the 2001 Fiesta. That exact combination of errors happened to me. I removed the fuse box and it was a loose relay on the fuse box. (The big black one.)
Yes, we have seen a few of these. We also had a case of the Speed sensor wiring.
