Which Escort?
Mk3 on may be a straight swap.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

It's really to try and avoid the use of relays, as the sierra switching aint man enough without.

Yes exactly that! I did use the loom from my donor MK2 for the entire car. I shortened the stalks a tad for neatness, and re-assigned the stalks to
varying functions, hence doing away with the need for switches on the dash. The stalks of the MK2 being ally, soooo much nicer than the flimsy Sierra
ones anyway......IMO of course!

If the Escort loom dosn't have any relays then you should be ok but if there are any in there ie for the lights then you should keep them as the
wires between the switch and the relay may not be up to the current you will be asking them to carry.
