Aidan baker Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I have a 1993 mk5 escort and was running up today when the engine just cut out and all the electrics have died. Could it be the fuse box as we have had trouble with it before and it is a common problem with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Very possibly. The mk5 and 6 are notorious for water ingress into the fuse box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan baker Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 If the fuse box is broken does that mean the car is a write off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Not really. A replacement fuse box can be fitted, although they might be hard to find, or the original may be able to be reflowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
