  1. Hi mate, Thanks for the reply! The plan was to fit the HIGH level fuse box as it's called along with all the upgraded goodies. I got everything out of the estate as it had a high level box. The only loom I didn't change in the swap was the rear and engine loom. The ancillaries when plugged in all matched colour wise to the old loom just didn't work properly. The interior light thing I have nothing working with it. It the original loom is that hacked it's not worth me investigating. With yours there should be 3 wires. Switch live from doors a permanent live for switch on light and earth. Sounds like you've lost the live. I really don't want to be paying an auto elec to fix my wiring issues. Being so hands on with anything mechanical I don't think I have it in me I've googled this and did find one other chap mention he had the same issue as me but no one actually gave any answers just suggested bits and bobs and he never replied if he fixed the issue.
  2. Struggling to find many escort owners, best I've found is google searches of bits and bobs followed by the words build or similar lol. I don't have facebook, try to avoid it if I can lol.
  3. It is quiet isent it mate where does everyone congregate thee days then?
  4. Thanks lads! I spotted a nice blue 2 door estate near me last week actually. Need to get mine painted Plans.... Sort my wiring back to a factory standard and just make it a pleasant place to be I think mate. Its had 2 new footwells, 2 wing bottoms, 2 outer sills, 2 inner sills, 2 rear chassis legs, rear crossmember plating, new drivers side heel board, windscreen bottom, boot floor and soon to be a windscreen top.... Should of seen its death sooner if I'm honest but I'm not ready to let it die yet :-P Mods wise, very little yet. Some alloys that look like steels have been fitted by my self and a TD lump by previous owner. Anyone understand my issue with the wiring in the electrical section? Desperate to fix that
  5. Hi everyone, Having some issues swapping fuse boxes in my 1998 td van. My van has a hacked interior loom and a 1998 aab mid spec fuse box. I have a complete mint interior loom and 1998 bc fuse box to fit from a escort estate td. Hopefully these codes are right the one on my new box is very faded so I read the code off the top and bc is the last two digits I believe distinguishing box number? Anyway, fuse box and interior loom fit in the van no issue with many spare bits for me to plug into however nothing works..... Well... Things work as follows: 1: Heater is on straight away with ignition and won't change speed. It's a none aircon van but aircon plug I assumed the main terminals would be ok, anyone help in this area, do I just fit aircon switch? 2: hazard lights make all dash lights flash on and off when it's turned off, turned on and nothing lights up. 3: no ignition past accessories. 4: no lights on stalk show. 5: running out of hair to pull out. Only thing I have done to this new interior loom that's no longer standard is remove the airbag wiring, this is 5 wires from 1 plug (the one vertical down the left hand side) and 1 from another (horizontal along bottom left of box) on the interior loom if I remember rightly that's the amount anyway. Reason being the van has an aftermarket momo wheel with no bag and Seats from another manufacturer fitted so airbag items won't work anyway. Hopefully someone can help me with what I'm missing, unsure what I've done wrong. Many thanks.
  6. Hi everyone, Recently got my self a mk6 van so thought I'd best sign up and say hello I do already have a mk4 2 door estate with a 2.0 on bodies but this forum seems to be the newer stuff. Anyway, the van... Its a S reg ex tarmac van in a fetching shade of bright green, use to be a 1.8 but the garage I purchased it from fitted a escort 1.8 TD. That's it really I suppose, oh... I'm in Lathom (near ormskirk), Lancashire too. Don't know if there's ever any meets any members go to that are local? Thanks, Ben
  7. On closer investigation its a HIGH spec fusebox and interior loom. Fitted it in the van minus airbag wiring (no idea if I need the earths on the offside a pillar for other things in the fusebox or if its just for the airbag? With airbag ecu unplugged in the old van it still works as it did so I assume I don't need them earths?) Anyway, it doesent work, nothing works and the hazard lights turn the dash lights on and off. Anyone able to help me out with what went wrong? Lol.
  8. Hi there, Sorry to drag up an old topic but search function has only got me this far. I have a base model fuse box in my 75 van (typical van I am lead to believe) with hacked interior loom I have a interior loom and fuse box from a mid spec TD (believe its mid spec anyway) however I am unsure if swapping interior loom and fuse box along with additional battery lives will work with the other base spec van wiring? Could someone please help me out on this Many thanks.
