The Mk2 Fiesta wiring does not use relays for the main or dipped beam
headlights, they are switched directly from the light switch.
If it's a later car then there is a relay for the dim dip, that switches
the 2 headlight dipped beam bulbs into series so they run at half
brightness.
Rememeber that to a typical multi meter the resistance of the rad fan is
so low it will look like a dead short.

Sorry.....me again....got a bit of an odd wiring problem that I came
across whilst trying to fix the intermittent dip beam problem (still
not fixed that one)....I found a badly blown fuse (completely
desroyed) in the main box....fuse #6 which according to the Fiesta
manual is the rad fan...hard short to ground when checked with a meter
on the load side....anyway, it looks like the fan switch is connected
to non-standard Fiesta wiring which I traced back to a connection
spliced in to what I believe is the anti overrun valve on the back of
the carb which is in turn connected to a black lead from the standard
loom....however none of this appears to be short to ground so I'm
guessing fuse #6 might be connected to something else....
Anyone know offhand if this might be the case an if so, what.
Also, going back to the original low beam problem, does anyone know
where the three headlight relays might be located so I can trace the
wiring
