The turn signals and hazards quit working on my 1993 ford escort wagon

Hazard lights are nearly perfect, turn signals come and go. Since both failed, it's not likely to be the flashers or switches. If the fuses are good, you have a rusted ground-20 years of rust! Check by jumping new ground wire to green wire. Wires sometimes break inside door jamb and body but not very often. The poor man's solution is to make a tail light with two sharp pins and three feet of wire, check wire at switch, flasher, and every three feet after that. Few people bother with automotive electrics for these reasons.

I have a 93 escort wagon , that i love... it was hit in an accident... i bought a liitle parts car an need to replace parts.... does anyone have auto body part on the manuel?

I have done this for years and am familiar with these cars. The first thing to do is cut in your parts, by that I mean paint the inside edges of your door, fender and hood before you install them. The hood is a no brainer. four bolts probably ten millimeter. The fender is not very hard either, remove headlight and side marker and front bumper. The door needs to be disconnected under the dash and the wires pulled out before removal. Install the door and adjust it till it fits and closes properly, then the fender by lining up the body line before tightning into place. Before putting in the bolts along the top install your hood and align it with the back of the cowl so that it is even gap all the way across then adjust fender gap and tighten down. This will work perfect if your inner structure has not been bent or knocked over. Be glad to help further if you need it

Change rear signal bulb on 2002 ford focus wagon

Open the rear tailgate There are 2 screws that hold light housing in place.. Remove the screws then pull the housing outwards till the clip behind it springs. You then need to knock the housing sideways (outwards) to free the 2 prongs that attach housing to the car body.
Unclip the rear housing from the back of the light unit & change the bulb.
