hi there

check the multi plug to tthe main fusebox. if not correctly aligned (1 row of pins out), you will get the same issue.

hth

btw, please turn off the caps. ;)

Hello. Like scorpio_man says check the multiplug first, and like solarpanel say's check the headlight switch for any burn marks or melting in the switch ( the one on the dash ) the cure i done to my lights is only temporary fix till i get time to change the fuse box "again".. here's the link http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Problems;action=display;num=1248096619;start=14#14 ..hope it helps .... :)

thanks for the replies, i've allready checkedall the above including substituting a replacement switch but i'll check all again , perhaps turning off caps lock has helped

Rod. The saying on here with regard to the main fusebox multiplug is " If it appears to go on correctly the first time it ain't right" ;). You MUST locate the pegs on the side of the plug into the lugs on the casing BEFORE you try to close it down. ;). Good luck.
