1595 Ford Fiesta Remakefailure of components such as fuses or sparkplugs may only be pointers to someunderlying fault.The pages which follow provide an easyreference guide to the more commonproblems which may occur during theoperation of the vehicle. These problems <strong>and</strong>their possible causes are grouped underheadings denoting various components orsystems, such as Engine, Cooling system,etc. The <strong>Chapter</strong> <strong>and</strong>/or Section which dealswith the problem is also shown in brackets.Whatever the fault, certain basic principlesapply. These are as follows:Verify the fault. This is simply a matter ofbeing sure that you know what the symptomsare before starting work. This is particularlyimportant if you are investigating a fault forsomeone else, who may not have described itvery accurately.Don’t overlook the obvious. For example, ifthe vehicle won’t start, is there petrol in thetank? (Don’t take anyone else’s word on thisparticular point, <strong>and</strong> don’t trust the fuel gaugeeither!) If an electrical fault is indicated, lookfor loose or broken wires before digging outthe test gear.Cure the disease, not the symptom.Substituting a flat battery with a fully-chargedone will get you off the hard shoulder, but ifthe underlying cause is not attended to, thenew battery will go the same way. Similarly,Fault finding REF•15changing oil-fouled spark plugs for a new setwill get you moving again, but remember thatthe reason for the fouling (if it wasn’t simply anincorrect grade of plug) will have to beestablished <strong>and</strong> corrected.Don’t take anything for granted. Particularly,don’t forget that a “new” component mayitself be defective (especially if it’s beenrattling around in the boot for months), <strong>and</strong>don’t leave components out of a faultdiagnosis sequence just because they arenew or recently fitted. When you do finallydiagnose a difficult fault, you’ll probablyrealise that all the evidence was there fromthe start.EngineEngine fails to rotate when attempting to start Battery terminal connections loose or corroded (<strong>Chapter</strong> 5A).
