on my way home tonight my lights just went out and i lost all my electrics except ignition power, hazzards and radio aint got a clue whats up but the dash clock just has dash's all over it instead of the usual mileage! any idea's anyone?
was thinking either main power fault like fuse's or relay or even a earth point?
either way not good as the fiesta is of the road and it was my only way of getting to work? bugger!  |

ECU connection on battery broken wire in loom or even melted wire.
Nightmare scenario mate sounds a bit specialised maybe auto electrician with the proper metres Jim. I have a number for a local guy if you need it .  |
