    Did it just spill on the floor and not over the dash or glove box?

    Hi All.
    checked the fuses and all working but still no dipped beam. could it be a fault that just happened at the same time as spillage ????

    Are the full/high beam lights working? Is there a chance that one dipped beam bulb has been gone for some time and then coincidentally the other went around same time as water spillage? I'd try change a bulb next to rule that out.

    Not sure if it's the case in the Focus but there is sometimes an ECU under the seats in some cars

    sorry for the delay in getting back, lights just came back on !!!!. but the problem seem that no power is getting to the switch ?, so back to a garage.
    ps . lights where fine before that. is it possible its an intermittent fault
