My radio in my 2004 Ford Focus will not play. It says mute. The clock does work. What's going on?

2005 Focus: Runs ok, but lights on insturment panel coming on; battery, seat belt, etc. lately we hear beeping,doors don't lock immediately anymore. Took it to mechanic where we bought the car-he couldn't find 'anything wrong'. Took it to another mechanic-same answer. Could there be a short somewhere? What now?

Replying to: sandy18 (Oct 14, 2008 12:37 pm) That is why I have not taken the car in, I figure that thwy would want to change the battery or alternator, which both of these have been replaced. I disconnected the Alternator from the computer(PCM) and I thought for sure I had it fixed, but the problem came back. My next step is to clean up the grounds wire connections and see what happens.

Replying to: sandy18 (Oct 14, 2008 12:37 pm) Sandy; Have your battery cables load tested, this means to disconnect cables from battery, place load tester between batt post and pos cable and load up to rated cap of the alt. should not have more than 1/2 volt drop in pos side or neg side, I have found more problems on the neg side than the pos side. also check ALL body grounds. You are getting a feed back causing your goofy problems,a # of these items go through a thing called a GEM module, check the ground to this module. Hope this helps you out, Cliff Replies to this message: sandy18 (Oct 16, 2008 11:03 am)

#188 of 286 Ford Focus... continuing discussion by sandy18 Oct 17, 2008 (12:30 pm)
About the screwed-up instrument panel: One poster suggested we try a load tester-can you buy one? How much is it? We asked a Ford mechanic about the problems, he wanted to replace the alternator. We'd like to try every available option b-4 going that (spendy) route. Suggestions ? Replies to this message: bear_fan (Oct 24, 2008 1:35 pm)
#189 of 286 Ford Focus....lemon...??? by sandy18 Oct 24, 2008 (1:17 pm)
Ok; we needed to have the alternator replaced in our '05 Focus. After shelling out $$$ for that, we bring it home & have the same problems..beeping, speedometer not working, etc.!!! The mechanic who installed it said it must be the computer. The warranty is no longer effective, but doesn't the consumer have some recourse here? Anybody out there with Focus problems, & what did you do? This is running into serious $$$$$ ! Replies to this message: matsukes (Oct 24, 2008 1:32 pm)

Replying to: sandy18 (Oct 24, 2008 1:17 pm) We had the same problem with our 05 Focus too! and we too dished out big bucks for a new alt.& battery! and then a new $60.00 ECM computer but the problem was still happening! we ended up shelling out another $1,100 for a new instrument panel and that fixed it!. Then 2 months later the car caught fire and burned to the ground.
