#157 of 286 Re: 2003 ford focus alternator/electrical problem [john238] by 1dufflebag Mar 20, 2008 (7:27 am)
Replying to: john238 (Mar 19, 2008 7:40 pm) try unhooking the battery cable for atleast 30 seconds, it resets your computer. Then turn on again and see if it doesnt reset your trouble light. I find many trouble lights on ford focus are false alarms.   Then, if the light comes back on or never goes off, it is probably legitimate issue.   This also worked for me on many no start situations where the computer just needed to be reset

Replying to: jawaldro (Oct 10, 2007 11:00 am) Most of the problems you describe I have not had... except the parking lights (and instrument cluster).   Where exactly is the ignition relay? Under the dash near the fuses? Or under the hood?   Thanks

Replying to: jrusch (Dec 18, 2007 10:06 am) Yes I had this problem it was caused by the battery conections to the post. There was Corrosion in-between the post and the cable connection. The corrosion cannot be seen without taking off the cable connection off the battery post. And when I cleaned the connection I had to put shims because now the connection was too lose and I could not tighen them enuf. But I had not had a problem sence I fixed it.

#162 of 286 Selling my Focus! by matsukes Jun 03, 2008 (5:14 am)
BOY! after reading about all these problems with the Ford Focus it makes me sad I just got a new 08 SES! The car has less then 1000. miles on it and there has been no problems as of yet but I will now try to sell the car just to get rid of it before any of the problems in this forum starts! I paid $16,000 for the car I wonder if I will be able to sell it fast for $5,000? Replies to this message: fjm1 (Jun 04, 2008 10:36 am)

Replying to: matsukes (Jun 03, 2008 5:14 am) SOLD!!!   I'll fly anywhere in the continental U.S. and pick up this excellent vehicle without a moments hesitation in driving it anywhere.
#164 of 286 A reminder by pf_flyer HOST Jun 04, 2008 (11:42 am)
The forums cannot be used to buy and sell items, so if you want to continue please use email.   I figured the post was a rhetorical question rather than an actual offer for sale myself.

Replying to: ouradman (May 30, 2007 9:21 am) Hi, I'm having a similar problem with a 2000 SE wagon. Changing the range sensor (tells the ignition that you're in park) didn't solve it. The dealer and my usual mechanic are stumped (the mechanic is looking into that relay switch you mention.) Were you able to find a solution?   Thanks, Dean

Replying to: ian2604 (Nov 29, 2007 6:31 am) Whiners?   Do you realize you are in a "focused" (pun) discussion? We are just looking for help and advice about electrical problems with the Ford Focus.   You should understand that you sound like the whiner here.
