  • An unknown blower problem?

    Hey guys, sorry that I have to start a new topic about it but the search did not give me any success.. to the problem: The blower motor from the escort of my buddy (75ps bj.96,without climate) wants more… I checked the fuse: Top Then I disassembled the front, removed the plug from the resistance and measured socket 1-3: Each time when switching through there are 12volts. So thought that the power supply is OK. Mass from motor to Karros.: Mass also ok. The resistance through: Also ok ay The blower motor to the battery: blower motor is running.. Was a little helpless…trotsdem ma on the resistance tapped and at the scrap metal a motor + blower was removed, because for both wanted only 15Euro… I put the thing in before (with great hope):nothing went… Again plug off measured: 12Volt on each level. The curious thing: If I plug the plug on the resistance and measure (if ventilation from 1-3 consecutively press) everywhere At the same time 12Volt is lying n, almost every fan phase on all 3 lines. But if I connect the plus cable of the blower motor, there is no longer any voltage to measure…I don’t understand…would it be possible that it is directly on the switch or that it is defective and somehow switches through mass as soon as the motor hangs on it? I exchanged the components and measured x-time… am grateful for every tip… Lg Bene

  • HELP! My automatic transmission is spinning

    Dear Escort drivers, I have a problem: I have been driving a Ford Escort tournament since 04/2006 Ghia Automatik EZ: 09/1996 and am generally very satisfied! My problem is becoming increasingly the “famous” automatic transmission!!! Supposedly it should have been developed by FIAT!?!? I bought the car with 152,000 KM and had to put up with up to the slight jerking in the gear (D) so far no problems. After about 40,000 KM (total approx. 190,000 KM) I have the problem that when parking (P) inserts The speed increased and I had to switch off the car immediately. When restarting the car, the speed increased for a few seconds to approx. 1300 revolutions and commuted again to normal approx. 850 revolutions. When stopping, e.g. at a junction, the automatic, as if the car wanted to continue driving. In a FORD workshop, my on-board computer was read out and found out that the Lambda probe was only working temporarily and the engine ventilation valve should be defective. for reading out: approx. 15 minutes almost 44 euros!) I then bought in the accessories for approx. 107,00 euros (Ford 207,00 euros) a new Lambda probe (NGK) and the new engine ventilation valve at Ford. Since the said conversion I have a z u s e t z i c h e s problem: the jerking, e.g. at traffic lights or at stop has not changed. I then switch to N and wait until the traffic light turns yellow, insert D and then drive with engine dropouts, as if it runs only on three cylinders, slowly white After about 20-30 meters the engine runs round again. At the advice of a master, I then stuck the negative pole on the battery for half an hour and after that – so that the computer regenerates – drove a longer distance. Unfortunately no improvement occurred! So-called experts have told me repeatedly that this “problem transmission” is known and also a certain time was offered in the Fiesta. The main problems would be the brake belts in the transmission and the impulse encoder. ebe should have already been overtaken at approx. 145,000 KM before my purchase – according to documents -. What should I do? As a father of three children I have to turn every cent and can not afford expensive workshops. Can you give me a good advice and advice? I am otherwise very satisfied and would like to keep my escort – also as an automatic -! What would the “overtaking” of the gearbox cost or can you buy a good used one somewhere? Who can help me? Thank you in advance!!!

  • OBD cables

    Hi you out there! Find an OBD to USB cable. Ebay warn Flop there are only some for VWäh. Would this still have found here:OBD-KABEL Should work for Ford and Opel. Someone with experience on this topic here which are good and which not? Thank you.

  • Changing the crusher seal – is that complicated?

    Hello together … So, I’m going to open my own thread again for this, maybe one or the other, the same work has already done and can give tips … My 1.3l Escort BJ 95 needs a new exhaust manifold seal. Speak of the between exhaust manifold and cylinder head. Has someone changed it before? If so, is it complicated? Do you get anywhere from above or do you have to get under it? Did you get the screws well? Ford called, there are the seals only individually, i.e. 4x such a small seal. I’ve seen things like that where all four were together, but that’s not for this model. So, I’d be happy if one or the other could write something about it. Greetings from Cologne Dirk

  • As so often: LÜFTER does not run (how it should) relay defective???

    Hello, I already read a little bit and took some information with me but I miss the point on the i. Have Ford Escort year 97. The heat exchanger was defective. ie. water leaked out and thus cooling water empty. Heat exchanger bridged. Now a new problem occurs on which the fan motor does not start. Engine overheats and water boils out. I pulled the plug from the thermoset and bridged but the fan does not run on. If you turn on the air conditioning then the engine runs strangely The switch can only control a relay which then gives juice to the fan. Is this true (because of the control of air conditioning) and if so where is the relay? One said that there are also on the board which are and not only the ones on top of it the “easy” to change. Maybe someone has mercy again and helps me further.

  • Safety boxes or cables

    I bought a Ford Escort 1.6 Bj.96 a few years ago. In the first winter suddenly empty battery because interior lighting did not go out. When pressing spray wiper also went on interior lighting -> just put out all the lights, was then ok. Next winter was quiet. In warm and especially dry weather anyway always ok. Now again massive problems. Since at the same time also puddle was on floor mat, I thought about connection. (Windscreen leaks, runs over fuses box, forming shorts, dripping on mat). According to Ford two things. Footroom was sealed > no more puddles. Constantly empty battery, because in case of rain (nights) light on, although switches off all. Ford says card in the fuse box is cracked(??), fuse box must be new. My fear now that it could not lie on the fuse box, but on supply lines. Currently I help myself by always pulling out the fuses for dipped + main light for parking. Always only front. Who knows about the wires and circuits? If it’s really on the fuse box, I’ll get one.

  • where is the petrol filter located ?

    Hi people ! Where can I find the Bezin filter ? I would like to change the Bezin filter for safety with my Escort because the engine sometimes after starting briefly and after sprit stinks, after 3 min drive it then runs normal. Sometimes it jerks so strongly that the engine control tries to regulate but it then sometimes goes out. If then I start again everything is ok. Where do I find the Bezin filter ? Is this a special or can I use the accessories for approx. 10 Euro take ? Maybe you have tips what it could still be if not on the filter ?

  • Black tail lights on the MK5!!! Who doesn’t have yet, who wants now!!!

    So, I don’t really know myself yet! Abba I have a report from ImPro for “black colored rear lights” I recently bought an RS 2000 from a dome. He has completely black-tinted rear lights, they are also registered. I myself have not seen them at any other Escort, at least not with German approval!!! They are really absolutely TIEF BLACK!!! (In the dark driving backwards without opening the door unthinkable, or almost on good luck!!!) I have m I myself have not yet dealt with the report (should not have read it yet), abba my buddy (even chief commissioner) said in this report is only about “dyed-in rear lights”, abba about the degree of coloration is nothing. According to his arrival he got this original report, the lights a little black sprayed on, from inside, and is then to the TÜV, it has registered and then sprayed on GANZ SCHWARZ further. Nzige what I know is: Rear lights are TIEF BLACK, with Blinkis in the bumper and there have never been any problems in a control (even without knowing him and without showing the police card, because he never takes it anyway). So guys if you can just copy the part, so that you can do something with it and want to have black rear lights, because sign up!!! If you don’t believe me I also like to look again for a photo (Digi is defective), if you tell me t how to add n photo here. Greet Chuckymaster

  • buy or leave ?

    Hey, I looked at the blue ford today – as some might have noticed. so… at the first start of the engine valves were totally on the clacker, salesman meitne, probably because the awgen stood still for a long time… after short driving was cacker however away.. unfortunately was probably made a motor wash by the pre-seller (my guess at least, because motor looks top), so you can’t see much on the engine. cycling and sweller is rusty, but nothing great, although visible , but doesn’t crumble yet.. therefore ok for me still… however… to the right of the door are slight elevations and varnish is bad, salesman meant, was painted by the salesman himself, therefore so unclean.. heckspoiler rusted, on the number plates around it also, and on the top is in a straight square over the number plate also such a blurry paint.. therefore unsure whether rust under it or only badly scratched repaired ? yes is the biggest thing I noticed spontaneously, now my question to you, buy or let ? again I think for the price is that still ok and I can still drive it until tüv expired without possibly causing the rust too big damage or ? indrinen he is always very well maintained and I like it, let it go it does itself and for itself super, shock absorber swipe once after… other data to the venture: Price: EUR 1,950 Kilometer level: 136,000 km Power: 66 kW / 90 hp Fuel type: petrol CO2 emissions combined: approx. km Number of doors: 2/3 Doors Gearbox: Manual gearbox First registration: 5/1997 HU: 6/2010 AU: 6/2010 Colour: Blue metallic Alu Wheels – Summer tires + steel rims – Winter tire set Check booklet Well-kept pictures with winrar packed and donwloadable here:www.xup.in/dl,18906677/pics.rar/
