HI Everyone,

I have a 1998 R Reg 1.3i Ford Fiesta MK4 no power steering, no electric anything, real base model.

I recently had the reving problem where one of the sensors plays up and the engine doesn't know when the throttle is open. Basically I cleaned most the connections, unplugged the battery and it went away.

Now the strange bit!!! My electrics in the car have gone mental. My back wiper comes on constantky, the blower control makes the strong beam flicker on the windscreen wiper arm does nothing but if I put it in the lowest position the fuse box makes a really loud whine. The headlight/indicator arm does nothing but the car head lights do come on. The front windscreen washers try and move but judder about an inch or so.

I have been round in circles changing the fuses and unplugging things. It is really strange the whine coming out the interior fuse box and having crazy control over the other electrics. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help. Tom Jenkins
