Hello all!

My Fiesta is suddenly having all kind of wierd electrical problems and a very bad idle. I suspect a bad earth connection! (I have already bought a new battery without any improvment)

I have located and cleaned the ones in the engine bay (I think I found them all), but where are the rest? Does anyone know?

Thank you!

    Thank you for your reply!

    I feel kind of stupid, but reading your comment reminded me that I actually have the Haynes manual for my car! 🙂

    I will have a look in it. Thank you again!

    No problem, I hope you get it sorted.

    Should try it around your gentlemans area. That's a proper sting!... or so I've been told 😂

    One day I sanding down a motorcycle petrol tank on my lap. it still had some petrol. Resting on my leg accidentally turned the petrol tap on. the petrol slowly soaked into my lap and it did it sting like hell. I ran in doors and was trying to wash it off in a panic. I wouldn't reccommend it.
