Ford Festiva The Ford Festiva was introduced for 1988. Three trim levels were offered: L, L Plus, and LX. The Festiva's 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine switched from carburetion to fuel injection in 1989-90. For '90, a 5-speed manual transmission was standard and a 3-speed automatic optional. Festivas got a fresh grille and taillamps for 1990, and motorized front shoulder belts replaced manual belts.

Default Need rims and an electrical question

Hi,
I am in need of 4 rims to fit my 1990 Ford Festiva.

Also, when the weather gets cold upon startup and for the first twenty minutes or so..the dashboard lights (speedometer / tach) dont work. other lights work, weird, rear defroster switch light is on. Do i need to replace a harness ?

Appreciate any info. thanks.

check the connection at the back of the dash may be loose (cold may make the connector shink) then causing it to act up.

Default No Dash lights when cold

I have the same problem with my 91 Festiva. The dash has both the speedometer and the tachometer. No dash lights when cold...they will suddenly come on after the car is warm. Also, I seem to have the same issue with my left dash blinker indicator. I was wondering if there might be a crack in the circuit board???? Let me know if you find a solution to yours!! zman_905 at yahoo.com. Good luck.

I have a similar problem. When it is cold the dash lights takes a little time to come on, The fix I found is tap on the dash board and it turns on, as I narrow it down to the harness. I twisted the hardness when it happen to me and it turn on right a way, I figures it must be in the harness, I will soon check it out when I get more time.
Hope it helps out.
