Hi,
1. If both sides go out then it's before the fusebox as after that there is
a separate fuse and circuit for each headlight.
It could well be the switch itself, or the contacts on it's connector if
it's got wet at some point.
If it was before the switch it would affect main beam as well.
2. They are usually modified Mk3 Fiesta units, if the drain holes in the
bottoms of the doors get blocked up the cables (mechanical not electric) end
up sitting in water and rust.
Either that or a plastic part of the mechanism breaks and they jam.
3. There is no standard for what is used for these, the factory used some
aftermarker ones, other people have used Ford units.
You will just need to take the door trim off and have a look.
4. Not sure.
Jim

Subject: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Issues
I recently aquired a 97 factory built 2+2 and have a few minor issues
I need to sort and would appreciate any advice before I start as I'm
guessing these are common problems...
1.Headlights (low beam only) are intermittent when driving...as side
and main appear OK I'm guessing there's a break in the supply wire
somewhere (as opposed to an earth problem that would affect main as
well). Is there a known, common failure point on the headlight loom.
2.Electric windows are stuck...when operated they try so I'm guessing
motors and wiring are OK but that mechanism somewhere needs
freeing...is there a known area or part where they tend to stick.
3.Locking mechanism....same as above....very stiff to the point where
the central locking solenoid (or motor?) won't operate it....is there
a particular area to look at.
4.Is there a known spec for the boot gas struts....I can measure for
size but don't know (and can't easily measure) load force.
Other than that it seems like a great little car....drives nice and
pulls well
Thanks
