Mondeo flickering side lights - Paul a M
Hello
Just wondering if anyone out there knows what is causing all the sidelights to flicker continously on my 98 1.8petrol Mondeo (engine/ignition on or off). Also the offside headlight electric beam adjustment has failed, is the motor easy to replace? actually i think it's time i bought a Haynes manual, the car has been faultless from new till now so never needed one!!
Thanks in advance for any help and advice

I've come across one that flickered when the engine was running and that was due to a cracked fuse. Regards Peter

Paul,

The flicker is a dodgy connection in one or both headlights. Replace both of the side light bulbs, they are only a £1 for the two of them & the problem will go away for about six months & then gradually return. Don't know why it returns but does not matter for a £1.

Re the motor, try getting it to run with the headlight out, may be another connector fault.
