#230 of 286 Focus transmission problems related elect????? by Timdrivesaford May 21, 2009 (10:13 pm)
purchased this 2005 Focus used in 2007. Was great for the first year-plus and I put about 55K miles on the car. Then I started having auto-electric issues (which are chronicled elsewhere on this thread: battery died mysteriously, anti-theft fuse blew and shut the car down, alternator went up).   A couple weeks ago, the transmission acted up. Shifted rough, and didn't feel like it was getting out of second. The O/D OFF light started flashing. Took it to a reputable garage who said tranny was shot.. I gulped and put down 3K for a new Jarvis transmission.   It ran great for about three days. Then it started shifting rough again. Check Engine light came on and the O/D light flashed again. Went back to the garage and they ran the diagnostic codes. Two things came up. One was a possible bad ground in a tail light that will cause the tranny to malfunction. The other was a heat sensor in the transmission that would do the same thing if bad. The garage narrowed it down to the sensor and replaced it (it was under the Jarvis warranty).   I picked the car up this morning and drove it today with no problem. Tonight? Same thing again. Rough shifts, O/D light is flashing. So, I'm taking it back in the AM. I wonder if the electric problems - which were never really explained - aren't related to the same source as this problem. If there is a bad ground in the tail light, could it have caused all these issues? A bad ground elswhere? Anyone have an experience/opinion???

#232 of 286 Temperature Gauge goes red by pcln Jun 12, 2009 (9:04 am)
The temperature gauge of my 2000 Ford focus se wagon goes to red when I drive in slow traffic in the city. Once the traffic moves or when I get on the highway the temp. gauge goes back to normal. What should I do? Do I need to change the fan, radiator or the sensor etc.?

test for 12 volts at fan plug in with a test light, with eng running hot, if you have 12 volts but fan not running, replace fan assy. let me know if you don't understand this Cliff

#236 of 286 Cigarette lighter inop by shardie Jun 28, 2009 (8:23 pm)
I have a '01 Focus wagon, the cigarette lighter does not work. I have checked the fuse, it is fine. I have taken the wires of the back of the plug, checked for power, no power there. I checked for power at the fuse location. Did not get any power there. Is there some type of relay? Or other fuses in line?
#237 of 286 06 FOCUS SIGNAL FLASHER? by matr2 Jul 05, 2009 (8:55 am)
Replying to: stephanie82 (Apr 30, 2009 4:37 pm) i HAVE A 06' FOCUS W/ A SIGNAL SWITCH PROBLEM. IT JUST STARTED BLINKING FAST WHEN TURNING RIGHT. USUALLY THAT MEANS A SHORT OR BAD GROUND SOMEWHERE OR YOU JUST REPLACE THE SIGNAL FLASHER. WHERE IS THE FLASHER? i'VE TAKEN THE COVER OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, I HEAR IT BUT DON;T SEE IT. HAS iT CHANGED SHAPE? OR IS IT SOMEWHERE ELSE? Replies to this message: csmchugh (Jul 05, 2009 10:35 am) pf_flyer (Jul 05, 2009 2:23 pm)

Replying to: matr2 (Jul 05, 2009 8:55 am) You may not have a short or wiring problem. The quickly flashing signal is also the typical warning sign that one of the signal lamps are blown out. I don't recall if the blown lamp is on the same side as the quick flashing, but you can start checking there. These are much easier to change out than anything in the steering column.

Replying to: csmchugh (Jul 05, 2009 10:35 am) Yea, that was my first thought as well... burned out bulb.   Start with the simple first!
