| 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.? | |

OK Pay Attn; Do u have any other thing that runs off 12 volts ( phone charger,dvd player.work light, ect ? ) if u do, see if any of yhese work in cig outlet, if they do then u have a bad heater elem. the part u light your cig with. if they don't work u have 1 of 2 pos problems. 1. a bad fuse, test with a 12 volt test light. if all fueses test good, reach behind lighter outlet,unplug pigtail ( it pushes on ) stick your test light into this pigtail end, it should light,if it does, unscrew the back of thr lighter outlet, it's like a can that screws onto another smaller can, replace with new socket. if u do all this and u need more help just shout.

| 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? | |

Replying to: matr2 (Jul 05, 2009 8:55 am) 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.

A few days ago my car worked fine. Then I went to start it, and nothing. The car wont respond to jumping. The battery is fine, putting out 12.4-12.5 volts. I hace power to radio, dome light, and parking lights. Key turns fine, but i get no dash lights, no key in ignition dinging. I have good power to starter and alternator, but no click. I have been tracing wires for days. relays and fuses are good. Any advice?
