compartment, but on Estate models, it is on
the right-hand side.
Some models are fitted with a headlight
levelling system, which is controlled by a knob
on the facia. On position “0”, the headlights
are in their base position, and on position “5”,
the headlights are in their maximum inclined
angle.
It should be noted that, when portions of
the electrical system are serviced, the cable
should be disconnected from the battery
negative terminal, to prevent electrical shorts
and fires.
Caution: When...

remade, prevent the onset of corrosion in the
future by applying a coat of petroleum jelly or
silicone-based grease, or by spraying on (at
regular intervals) a proprietary ignition sealer
such as Holts Damp Start, or a water-
dispersant lubricant such as Holts Wet Start.
Note:It is important to note that the ignition
switch and the appropriate electrical circuit
must always be switched off before any of the
fuses (or relays) are removed and renewed. In
the event of the fuse/relay unit having to be...

functions of the various relays are given in the
Specifications (see illustration).
8If a component controlled by a relay
becomes inoperative and the relay is suspect,
listen to the relay as the circuit is operated. If
the relay is functioning, it should be possible
to hear it click as it is energized. If the relay
proves satisfactory, the fault lies with the
components or wiring of the system. If the
relay is not being energized, then either the
relay is not receiving a switching voltage, or
the relay...

foglight combination switch
Note:From July 1994 a rvised main light
switch was introduced; this was fitted as
standard in production. If the revised switch is
to be fitted to a pre-July 1994 model, an
adapter lead will also be required to prevent
electrical damage ocurring. Refer to your Ford
dealer for further information
