You could try to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes. It can help reset everything. Don't forget radio codes and replace small black lead.

Have you checked fuse 36 (power saver) in the battery side fuse box ?

No not checked fuse 36 will try that and disconnect batt, is there an easy way to get fuse cover off? I tried a while ago and it would not budge. I gather you press in certain places to release it.

If it is not the fuse 36 and disconnecting batt does not reset, does the team think it is the timer module, if so were is it as I could lay my hands ona scrap one today that has most of the dash removed so easy access.

It's behind the coin container/diagnostic socket flap. HERE are the details (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/electrical/auxwarnsys/centraltimermod.pdf)

Check the multiplug to the tail light. Might be that or the wires going through the hinge part as they are prone to failure.
