I have a 2006 ford focus I need to know why my breaks are locking up. Please can someone help me

Does the ABS light come on ?

May not be the ABS, the ABS is meant to do the opposite, it may be that the Brake Caliper has gone bad, apparently is stays closed after releasing break pedal causing wheel to lock up.

It's a messy job, but here is the answer.

I know it's not as easy as they make it sound because most need a special fuel line disconnect tool to remove the lines from the filter ends.


Hope this helps.

clean the throttle body

I had this same problem with my 2006 ZX4 Ford Focus. My focus has an automatic transmission. In order to get the stuck key out of the ignition, I discovered that there is sort of a "ring" on the gear shift that will sometimes slip down a little and cause the ignition to lock the key in place. The ring is located just benenth the plastic gear shift handle, right on the end there. If you push the ring up, you should be able to get the key out of the ignition. I found this out by accident. I know that sounds weird, but it actually works; at least it did for me. At first, I thought I hadn't put the gear in park. The ignition will not release the key if the gear isn't in park or if the steering wheel isn't in its lock position. I think most cars work on this principle; that wasn't the case here. For all of you 2006 Ford Focus owners out there having this problem, try my suggestion and I would also spray some WD-40 in the ignition hole too ( after you get the key out) . I hope this helps you folks out there. Good luck and have a nice day!:)

Thanks.

ALL ford focus do that you can not lock the car from the inside only the outside. Its to stop you locking your car keys from inside.

I can help you but I need to know if you want to replace the whole headlight assemble or do you just want to replace the bulb. Let me know.

If you push the internal opening handle inwards, the doors should lock.
