it very well can be that depending on the severity of the ticking noise, if it sounds like its coming from the top of the engine, place your hand on it only when you first start it up and if you can feel it knocking slightly and if the noise dies away once warmed up id say its your lifter, if its a heavier knocking rather than a ticking and comes from below or bottom end of engine it may be big end bearing, not good. try putting some engine treatment through the engine oil and make sure you run it in as directions state then change the oil and filter and see if that helps :)

the speed sensor is located on the side of transmission toward the rear of the trans, is simple too replace, if you buy then new one and jack and support the vehicle look under Neath and it simple unplugs then use a crescent wrench take tork off and unscrew it. there will be little trans fluid (1tea spoon ) that will come out and that's normal on a scale of one to ten it rates 2. so not hard.

Either relay or multifunction switch. Start by swapping a relay to see if that fixes it. If so great if not then its going to be the multifunction switch

Check the codes. Could be catalytic converter/s.

TEDDY is right on Point. First if this is happening, YOU should not be driving it. YOU are a danger to yourself and those around you and I am sure you do not want to cause an accident or be in an accident.... with that said... I am 95% sure your issue is Transmission Related although Teddy is correct with the other issues that could cause it. Limp Mode is designed to "GET YOU OFF THE ROAD SAFELY" (you know... Limp Home).... Now that you are home, you need to discover the issue and the vast majority of the time with the Focus is the Transmission Codes. Many of these "MAY" set a CEL but not always, once you start to Scan the vehicle with a Diagnostic Scanner, the issue may be plain to see. Majority of time it has to do with the TCC Solenoid (Torque Converter Clutch)... It could also be something as simple as a Clogged Fuel Filter, MAF Sensor, Clogged Converter are some issues that can cause it. Scan the Car and you will get some more information.. Something like a P0191.... Let us know what you find out..

tv is the wrong adhesive. you must use urethane with a primer. it is available at any QUALITY parts store (NAPA or Carquest comes to mind)

1. Remove the rear quarter window glass.

1. Using a soft brush or vacuum, remove any dirt or foreign material from the pinch weld.

Installation
CAUTION: When installing urethane installed glass parts, the vehicle must not be driven until the urethane adhesive has cured. At temperatures above 21°C (70°F) and relative humidities above 50%, adequate cure time is typically 24 hours. (Refer to Essex drive away chart for the cure times as temperatures and humidity vary.) Inadequate or incorrect curing can adversely affect the retention of the quarter window glass.

1. NOTE: Avoid scratching the pinch weld.
   Trim the remaining urethane adhesive. The urethane adhesive must be smooth and free of cuts and contamination after trimming. Avoid touching the urethane adhesive after preparation.

1. Apply the urethane metal primer to any exposed or damaged metal on the pinch weld.

1. If reinstalling the original rear quarter window glass, remove the excess urethane adhesive.

1. Clean the rear quarter window glass with a non-alcohol based window cleaner.

1. CAUTION: Wipe off the urethane glass prep immediately after each application because it flash dries.
   If installing a new rear quarter window glass, apply urethane glass prep twice around the glass surface to be urethaned.

1. If installing a new rear quarter window glass, apply urethane glass primer to the same area that was prepped in the previous step. Allow 5 minutes to dry.

1. Cut the urethane adhesive applicator tip to specification.

1. Apply a bead of urethane adhesive on top of the existing urethane bead on the pinch weld. Make sure that all gaps in the urethane adhesive are smoothed into one continuous bead.

1. Position the rear quarter window glass to the flange, and press the retaining tabs into the flange to engage.

1. Install the rear quarter window glass.

1. Check the rear quarter window glass installation for air or water leaks through the urethane seal.

1. Install the C-pillar trim panels. For additional information, refer to Section 501-05.

Should be automatic tension-er on that model, just rotate it one way or the other to release the tension, remove old belt, then re-install new one, release the tensioner to take up slack. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/michael_2496c4f07ad24453

There are to many variables to give a definite answer here. You will need to hook up a computer scanner to the car, to check for fault codes and to watch the PIDs [live data sent to the engine computer from the various sensors.] That said, the most likely culprits are either a bad TPS [throttle position sensor] or a failing fuel pump.

Have you checked the Transmission fluid? This is sometimes a cause of such trouble.

need to open the door skin (remove from door) there should be a metal rod going to the inside of the handle if lifting the handle is not opening the lock you will have to bend it in such a manner that it will put more strain on it (tighten) from the lock to the handle then replace door and try again, f not the inside of your handle may be broken or damaged check it on the inside for worn eyelet hole or broken and replace as needed

ON THAT YEAR FOCUS SAME CAR EXPERIENCE PROBLEM WHIT KEY TUMBOLER NEED TO REPLACE THE UNIS AND NEED TO REPROGAM THE NEW ONE NEED A SCANNER TO PROGRAM

your voltage regulater is not working letting alternator run away most alt have an internal regulater

You'll just have to go to the ford dealership and get a new key. Probably have to tow it to them if you don't have a spare. They have to have the vehicle there to code the key with the car.

First check the fuses. Should be blower motor fuse.flip fuse cover over and it tells which is what. Check box under the hood for bad relay. If not that then bad switch.

Call your FORD DEALERSHIP or go in and they can look it up with Proof of Ownership

You should have a button on the shifter. On some it is on the end of the stalk and on others it is on the side of the floor shift lever.
