hello im new to forums and would like some help with an ignition issue i have on a 1994 reg escort lx 1.6efi 16v which i recently acquired from my dad, before he stopped using it it had an electrical issue where the rev gauge and radio would die then a mile or so down the road the car would cut out and refuse to start but now when trying to start it the battery light is very dim and there is no oil light but all other electrical systems work that should yet the starter wont turn or even click. im at a total loss with the car ive tried everything including removing the aftermarket alarm, so any help wold be very apreciated

Hey welcome maybe it's a dodgey earth or voltage regulator on the alternator

Welcome bud :) could be the fuel feed line on the escorts sometimes the engine doesn't get the bit of fuel it needs to fire up.

thanks for the suggestion guys it turned out to be the aftermarket alarm that had gone knackered but also now the alternator has stopped charging so that will get changed in the next few weeks too :)

Glad it's all fixed matey (or will be) hope there won't be anymore issues for you :D
