hey, iv just aquired an 1989 westfield 1600 crossflow, having a few issues with the wiring and wondered if any of you guys could help...

first of all i noticed the back lights dont work at all...

secondly when i put the side lights on the fuel gauge goes up to full...

and thirdly when i select either indicator the side lights come on!

i have checked all the earths i think and no problems there... maybe a crossed wire down the line??

i believe the engine and loom are from a mk2 escort so would appreciate if anyone could send me some wiring diagrams?

thanks in advance

Roy

Hi and welcome..

where abouts are you...

maybe someone local will come and have a look.

have you checked all the earth connections your problems do sound earth related. .m.

Hi, firstly all earths will be brown.
then you need a multi meter to check things.
clean the fuses and holders especially if its the original mk2 fusebox with ceramic style fuses.
