Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: H4i nearside rear bulb holder

2017-09-17 Thread Susan and Martin Scott 
Glyn,
When you say "it clicks quite quickly" are you referring to the starter motor? 
Does the immobiliser usually light before the ignition key is turned? It could 
be flashing because the starter motor is taking a huge current, so little is 
left for the immobiliser circuit. Without knowledge of how the immobiliser is 
wired it could be pure guesswork. If it's a standard Fiesta mk3 immobiliser (if 
there is such a thing), someone else here may have the answer. 
A few words of caution WD40 is HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE, so take care if using it 
near electricals. Many years ago when I and a few other motorists were caught 
in a flash flood and ended up in a car park, a helpful bystander decided it was 
ok to spray WD40 nead my coil, and I could have had a major fire if I hadn't 
managed to beat the flame out!

  Hello Everyone


  Thank you for your replies. Particularly for the steer about what it was from 
and where one could be obtained, I was able to track one down quite easily 
after that. 
  Thanks also for the offer bilje55 but I had already ordered one by the time 
you posted otherwise I would have taken you up your kind offer. Do you have any 
electric window switches by the way? you did say that you had some H4 parts 
going as you did not have an H4 anymore? 
  I have done a little wriggling (with the plug that is) and stuck some gaffer 
tape over it to keep it still and so far all is well. 
  That being almost sorted, the new one is due to arrive on Wednesday. Did 
anyone following this exchange of messages have any ideas about the occasional 
starting fault (see the first email)? Please let me know if you do.
  I will now try to find the bloody WD 40, a suitable job for Sunday  afternoon.

Hello Everyone


I am experiencing a problem with my nearside rear bulb holder on my H4i , 
number 59 fitted with 1.8 zetech engine. The indicator was malfunctioning as 
were the other attached lamps. It failed the MOT because the garage said that 
there was a very bad earth connection. It was an advisory note. I should like 
to replace it for reliability reasons.
Where does it come from? Is it a Ford part that came from the donor car? 
Has anyone had to obtain one and if so where did they get it from? Has anyone 
got one that I could buy from them?
There is also an occasional fault now when starting the car. When turning 
the ignition key to start the engine it does not catch and it clicks quite 
quickly while the immobiliser light flashes in unison. So far it has started in 
the end but is it related or is there some difficulty with the ignition or the 
immobiliser?
If anyone has any answers or comments would you please let me know, I have 
in the past had some excellent helpful advice from here.

[Quantum Owners] Re: H4i nearside rear bulb holder

2017-09-17 Thread 'Jim Turner' via Quantum Owners Group 
Hi Glyn
I had the same problem with my H4. turned out to be  tarnish on the  multi 
plug contacts. I cleared it by spraying WD40 on the contacts & leaving it a 
few minutes to work. 
If you waggle ( a technical term!) the plug you should either cure or 
reproduce the fault,
Regards
