I have a 2007 ford focus and the back door on the
first try some WD40 sprayed into the inner door this may loosen things up, ask you said the door locks sometimes worked.
if not sounds like the linkage in the door has either bent, come off, or water got in and rusted things up, in any case you will have to take the inner door panel off using a tool you can pick up at the auto parts store.
In the door ( beside the window mechanism ) you will find heave metal rods/linkage for opening /closeing the door latch and lock.
you will have to see that all are connected and not just hanging.
you will also find a connected to this linkage a small round or rectanular item with a couple of wires this is your electric door lock. you will have to manually check to see all are moving freely and if not fix it. or just take the car to a mechanic or body shop.
good luck
Replacing fuse for windscreen wipers fuse box
The fuse must be in the main fuse box. The position and function of the fuses is normally marked on the inside of the fuse box cover and also in the owner's handbook. If you don't come right with these, work your way through the fuses looking for a blown one. To ease your search the wiper fuse it should be around 15 to 20 amps.

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com
I just recently purchased a 2007 Ford Focus SES
All vehicles will slide in the snow. Traction control or not. What traction control does, in simple terms...Is when your wheel start to slip, which is detected by some sensors, it lowers the vehicles throttle position, slows the RPM's down, even if your foot is still on the gas, for a matter of seconds, until the wheels stop slipping. So when you feel or hear your vehicles engine slowing down on its own, its best to just let off the gas and let it go for a couple seconds. A way to test the traction control...From a stop, if you are in the snow, and you push the gas down a good bit, make it spin, and the vehicle should seem to power down on its own, while the light comes on, if it does not do this, then traction control would not be working. Hope this helped.
When I get on the highway and a big truck drives
There are several possibilties. Your gaskets in the hatch or doors are not fully seated or the hatch and doors are not properly aligned to close tight. Make sure your sunroof is closed tight.
The thickness of the glass in all of the windows varies from one car design to another. The heavier the glass, the quieter the ride you get because it insulates better. Lack of sound deading material will let noise through. Either item will reduce weight of car if it is left off or made thinner.
You can have sound deading materials added to your car in the aftermarket. The focus is a popular rental car. You could try to rent one for a day or ask your Dealer to use a loaner long enough to get in with the big trucks and compare the two cars.
I hope you found my solution very helpful.
