1997 2003 Ford Escort Interior Fuse Check 2002 Ford Escort ZX2 2 0L 4 Cyl

Found these two fuses. Not only check the fuses, use a test light and check voltage on fuse circuit, one is hot all the time. The other goes hot with key on.
Ground wire is important, also, ground wire is usually black in color.

check your fuses if all are good check the light or lights in your instrument panel if good use a test light to see if yorr getting power to the lights hope this helps

Looks like your park light/headlight switch assembly is FAULTY! Burned and shorted contactors inside the switch made those lights turned on, better bring that to ur nearest garage electrician to replace or fix it! Hope that will solve your problem!

CHECK THE CRASCH SENSOR , IT TURNS OFF THE FUEL PUMP ELECTRIC, COMMON FAULT . CHECK THE TIMING BELT

CAN YOU REMOVE THE RADIO FROM DASH IF YOU CAN ALL I NEED IS THE SERIAL NO. HICH STARTS WITH A M & 6 DIGIT NO. AFTER THAT GET ME THAT I WILL SUPPLY CODE.

Check to make sure that there's power from the alternator to the battery on the charge-back wire. If nothing's there, then your alternator is junk and you'll have to replace it again.

is there enough charge in the battery or have the light bulbs gone in the dash?????

under your dash is a fuse box and with there is a lable on the cover that directs you to the right fuse that governs the dash and tail lights
