the escorts were common for fuse box faults and all that i can suggest is you take the fuses out one at a time and put them back in once you have inspected that the fuse hasnt blown of course and do the same with the relays pull them out one at a time and replace them back in the same position and then try all the electricals also look at the bulbs aswell just incase the bulb has gone and the other thing is check and clean the earth points that is the brown wires as the escorts were bad for loseing there earth
if you have no luck with this then it will have to be an auto electrition to come out to you and repair it for you
