#16 of 25 Re: Focus dash light [steverino2] by mlgard Dec 20, 2007 (1:49 pm)
Replying to: steverino2 (Dec 06, 2007 4:41 pm) Steve, My ZX3 '00 had that problem years ago. After I took it to the second Ford dealer they correctly diagnosed a shorted wire. I paid about $75 to repair. Months later I read the NHTSA website about the Ford recall on that. This dealer wouldn't reimburse me stating my car wasn't produced at the facility the recall applied to. What a crock. Matt
#17 of 25 Focus no instruments by wcroll Jan 17, 2008 (3:27 am)
All instruments on my 53 plate focus go dead on me, then come back on usually when car has heated up. This intermitting fault seems to dissapear for about a week then comes back, Ive checked the fuses they are ok. Everything else seems to be ok ie lights etc so I suppose it must be something to do with the instrument cluster. Any help would be appreciated.

#19 of 25 2002 Ford Focus ZTS by amandag1 Jan 31, 2008 (1:15 pm)
I just purchased a 2002 Ford Focus ZTS with 70,000 on it. By owner, so no warranties. Right when I was about the pull out of the lot I noticed there was antifreeze leaking, I took it to my mechanic and he said that the Focuses are known for their Thermostat Housing Units the leak and such. Anyone had the same problem? And whenever I drive I can hear the (I guess) computer making noises and beeping, anyone experiencing that as well? Thanks.
#20 of 25 01 Focus ZX3 radio, blower motor, and wipers by lorddrago1 Sep 04, 2008 (5:00 am)
HELP! I can turn off car and my radio, blower, and wipers still work. Even if the key is removed.Replaced battery cable assembly then this started. Could have I fried the BCM?
#21 of 25 Speedo redlines to 140 before cranking, resets trip odometer by jeromeb Apr 30, 2009 (5:31 pm)
The Discussion Title is pretty much it. Beginning April 29, 2009, the speedometer redlines to 140 before I crank it. It holds that position for almost a second then returns to 0 mph. This event also resets the trip odometer to 0.0.   The only thing otherwise was that I'd gotten a new set of tires installed on April 28.   Is there any possible explanation for the unusual speedometer and trip odometer behavior?

Replying to: jeromeb (Apr 30, 2009 5:31 pm) This sounds like a simple gauge gone bad. Tires certainly have nothing to do with it, and I doubt there's anything mechanically wrong with the car that's causing it.   So start with the gauge itself and connections to the gauge. I had a temp gauge that was behaving oddly that turned out to have a cracked electrical connector. When the car was decellerating the connection would open and close and the temp gauge would bounce down to zero and back up to operating temp. When accelerating, the connection was physically forced closed and the temp gauge read properly.   But when you add in your odometer resetting, I'm leaning towards the instrument itself being fried.

Replying to: jeromeb (May 03, 2009 7:33 pm) I have attempted no repair for 3 weeks. Sometimes it behaves as described, sometimes not. I deem it to be nothing worth spending money on. Replies to this message: jeromeb (Oct 02, 2009 2:44 am)

Replying to: jeromeb (May 20, 2009 3:05 pm) The problem seems to have resolved itself.
