93 Escort headlight problem

[hbrammer]

My 93 escoert has no headlights at this time-other functions on the
multifunction switch work fine-turn signals,parking lights,and high beams will
come on if I pull the switch toward me.The headlights and high beams dont
cone on when I turn the switch.Other than the multifunction switch,is there
a relay I should be looking for,and where is it located?
Thanks in advance.

There is a relay but it precedes the switch in the circuit, so if the flash-to-pass function works then the relay is good, and also the wiring, connectors and grounds must be good, so it's virtually certain that the multi-function switch itself is faulty and should be replaced.

The wiring diagram is in the Repair Info section at www.autozone.com or this link might take you directly to the relevant diagram:

I was just looking at the diagram for the '94, and I notice that they changed the circuit slightly so that the flash-to-pass function bypasses the relay. If yours is a late '93 then presumably there's a chance that it's wired the same as the '94, in which case a faulty relay could indeed cause the symptom which you have, so you might want to check the relay before replacing the switch.

This is the wiring diagram for the '94:

And this should be the location for the headlamp relay:

Turns out relay was fine,problem was multifunction switch.Went to
Pick and Pull here in Fort Worth,and found a similar 93,pulled steering wheel,removed switch.Got it for$25.00!
