... try taking off and connecting again of the big cabled connector on the fusebox; the one with the metal clip.
It should really be out and cleaned and carefully seated & driven home or else you will have all kinds of funnies playing up.

I think that will just be the switch connections, my Sierra does that sometimes if its not used regularly,
I think they get tarnished and dont connect.
flicking it through all the positions a few times should clean them off

There's a fair amount of nonsense in this long thread 
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Problems;action= display;num=1238527140;start=60
But towards the end this is the conclusion, think it may fit in with your problem:

Think this should be one for the fault finder page Boss
Relay 21 in battery side fusebox causing loss of all instrument cluster functions and everything which works on the ignition, such as sunroof, heater, indicators etc.
Lights, hazards and instument cluster backlights work as normal, car still starts and runs.
Relay 18 for the heated screen is an identical relay and can be swapped with 21 to test. |
