Focus 1.6 2001 aftermarket stereo only comes on when the sidelights are turned on??

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    sounds like you may need to rewire the radio. I can help with this but will need to know if the wires were cut and taped together or are they using a harness. that plugs into the car. The way you will know is that the harness will match the wires on the aftermarket radio for example red black, yellow puple, purple with balck etc.

You have a wiring problem, remove the radio on the original car wiringloom you should have a grey wire with a yellow trace. that wire needs to be disconnected from the radio and the black wire with green trace should be connected in its place

My sidelights come on when i brake ive checked earths and changed bulbs its a 1.6 ford focus lx

one or more of your bulbs in the brake light sockets is wrong or you have a short circuit between the brake light wire(s) and the running light wiring.

Check the back bulbs 1st.

Unable to change 2009 sidelight bulb

On the sidelight, there is a Phillips screw which is hidden by the headlamp assembly. Remove headlight assembly and look for the Phillips screw. Once unscrewed, pull lens unit straight out and then you should be able to change bulb.

Replaced battery in my 03 ford focus now my car stereo will not power on. any procedure to reactivate my car stereo to turn. been reading horror stories about this setup. ugh!!

Not sure if this will help you , but many aftermarket have a reset switch behind the faceplate. would be a small hole about big enough to poke the tip of a ball point pen into.
Also , remove the faceplate and replace it making sure it is clicked in securly.

Radio

Sounds like the head unit is bad on your audio system. You would need to replace the entire unit. I'd recommend an aftermarket stereo instead of another Ford stereo.
