Hello!
I'm new to this forum so forgive me if something goes wrong. 
Two months ago I bought a stunning 1997 2.3 Ford Scorpio and already made some modifications, like upgrading the interior to leather with full electrics, but have some problems.
I've renewed both fuse boxes although they were in perfect condition but I heard that it's better to take care of them to avoid any electrical problems.
Now that I have studied both fuse boxes I want to 'upgrade' my Scorpio putting in a Relay NR 14 for daytime running lights and also need to change the Relay NR 5 as my interior lights are not working since I bought my car.
Here is the questions for you, do you know where can I buy those two specific relays?
I was looking for them on ebay but don't really know if any of those you can get there would suit my car.
Maybe someone here has these two for sale?
Thank you for your time!
Cheers

are you sure your interior light is the relay at fault?
Not sure about the daytime running light relay, unless its the same as another one you might need to get it from Ford

yup, the problem is with the relay, fuses are ok, the timer and wiring are ok so the only thing left is the relay...
i believe that r5 and r14 are different relays...
maybe somebody is breaking a car for spares and has those for sale...?
cheers

What I was trying to say was that R14 will not be in UK models, however it may be the same as one of the other relays

r14 was an option in UK but still can be found in some UK models...
I've seen quite a few UK Scorpios with r14...
but it may be that it's the same as one of the other relays...

is there any other way to get them? i'm afraid that they might be extra expensive when bought directly from Ford...

I've broke a lot and never seen R14 installed or daytime running lights working,
i've tried to get them working using different relays with no success,
I assumed it may need activated by FDS but havent looked into it any further.

Possibly is if you have the correct R14, the ones I tried may have not been the correct type

Dont think that is the reason, either the wrong relay or it needs to be activated

i'm subscribed to the Polish Scorpio Forum and they said that with r14 plugged in it has to work...

Thats what I'd have thought.

yup... they were fully working...
and like i said i spoke to those guys on the polish forum and every single one of them said that with a proper r14 relay it is working no matter what the model is. they said that they all have upgraded their Scorpios just by putting in this relay and it worked for them...
I guess everything should be working with a right relay but where to get one... apart from Ford, as it may be too expensive...
has anyone seen such things on ebay for example?
