You may have noticed the thread earlier about getting decent access to the fusebox of said vehicle.
The fuse was replaced for the head lights and they worked fine for one full night. The problem now, is that the fuse keeps popping when trying to turn on the head lights!
Side lights come on fine, it's when turning to 'two' (main beam) that the pop noise from the box appears and the fuse dies.
I have tried disconnecting the connectors from the headlight bulbs and replacing the fuse; same result.
Do Fiesta's of this vintage have a common electrical fault in this area?
If it's any help, it's also constantly popping the 3A fuse that tells the CD player that the engine is running and not to revert to "1 HOUR" mode. Examine the wiring and there's nothing obvious with the wiring such as dampness or dirt, so no clear cut shorts.
