1993 Festiva retractable seat belt does not work??

ssur — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 22:43:46 GMT

The retractable shoulder belts in my 93 Festiva do not operate. The only fuse I could find (30amp) is fine. The belts will not operate when you open the door, or when you start the engine.

Does anyone know how I should trouble shoot this???

thanx

1991 Ford Festiva headlights will not come on and charge light on dash stays on. Replaced alternator, did not fix.

headlights quit working about sametime I noticed charge light on dash stays on. checked headlight bulbs- OK. Took off alternator had checked-BAD replaced that with good one. Problems still exist. Fuses in dash all looked good. Could there be relay/fuse under hood that needs replaced? Did notice a clicking sound coming from near right headlight when standing beside car while not running and turning headlight switch on/off repeatedly. THANKS for any help.

Where do I get the wiring codes for a 1993 Ford Festiva?

beaux82 — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 02:58:11 GMT

the factory wiring harness has been cut out and its very difficult to figure out what each wire is...especially the power wire.

ive pretty much figured out the speaker wires by lifting the speakers out.
there are other cords in the dash that i cant figure out what they are tho.

Buying 1-owner 92 Ford Festiva for $1 with oil in radiator. Does it have a steel block or aluminum? Advice? Worth fixing?

this car was purchased new by friends in college. it has under 100,000 miles on it. never been in an accident, never smoked or partied in, excellent condition except for the fact it was discovered it had some oil in the radiator. it was parked immediately and never driven since. does this car have an aluminum block which will probably need to be ground? or will just the head and gasket probably need to ground/replaced? is it really worth fixing, even though i can buy it for just $1.00?
