2007 Ford Focus (3 Door) Hatchback - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

My friend, you need a grease job. Tell the mechanic next time you have your oil changed.

Be careful about driving over the curb ... that is a big bump ...

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

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.

You don't. The bulb is in a socket that can be removed from the backside of the light. Usually with a twist.

check and replace temputer sensor

5w20, with a seal or gasket or grommet.

fuse or door light plunger

It's in the trunk. Take everything out and pick up the "floor" board in the trunk.

try this but i think with later models it is dealer only diagnostic machine

Possible the reverse switch mounted on the transmission may have gone out. Usually they are pretty cheap, but may be a pain to get to.

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.

dimmer light switch could possibly be bad,try moving up and down and on and off,if ok could be the acc switch which would be in the ignition switch,let me know.











TIM............

Try to put GREASE on the DOOR LOCK mechanism, seems the lock mechanism is always wet and freezes down that it cant move anymore!
U could buy an SPRAY GREASE AEROSOL, wait till ur mechanism moves when there are no snow anymore, and spay the grease all over the lock mechanism!

There are fuses for the radio in the fuse panel inside the car. The fuse panel is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by the brake pedal. Remove the CD stowage box to access the fuses. Fuse number 31, 20 amp, fuse 57, 7.5 amp, radio and cluster (accessory), fuse 62, 7.5 amp, Radio (Start). There is a Subwoofer fuse in the Power Distribution Box, number 11, 30 amp fuse.

f74 its a 15a fuse.its the tenth fuse from the left of the lower section of fuses as you look at the fuse box inside the vehicle.hope this helps

Should be located on intake manifold

Try spraying it with pb blaster of liquid wrench. Let it set for an hour and try to take it off then

hold info button till says english should let you change it back

try disconnecting the transmission linkage from the transmission first then put it in park and see if it will go.this will tell you if the problem is in the transmission or not.

disasemble the window switch , water washes the small trash in it and the contacts dont close .
