NE1 know if the electric cooling fan on a fiesta ('91 1.4 ) is fused and if so which / where is the fuse located. The fan appears dead and also the heater fan and reverse lights stopped working at the same time... All visible fuses inside the car are OK, so are there more somewhere else?? TYIA

Tim,
I had this problem on my old Fiesta 1.1 Popular Plus. You'll probably find that the thermocouple is the problem, they tend to go all the time, and the wiring for that goes to the reverse lights for some bizarre reason. I think it's to stop them melting in hot weather.
I sorted the problem by mounting 2 7" desk fans to the front grill and wiring them to the cigarette lighter. Seemed to do the trick.
Let me know if you need mounting instructions (think jubilee clips).
