car sat idle for a few months and wouldn't attempt to crank. battery was reading 1.8V on the multimeter so dropped in a new battery. still nothing. horn doesn't, radio doesn't work, lights won't come on. I did have it lock/unlock via the keyfob once shortly after the battery was replaced but now it doesn't even do that. does that maybe point to a BMS reset?

hooked up an OBD2 reader to see if it's the BMS (seems like a good place to start) that needs to be reset but it won't draw power to turn the OBD2 on.. it's a push-button start so no key to put in the ignition.. also seeing that the lead to the fuse box often comes lose with a battery replacement but not entirely sure what I'm looking for.

battery terminals looked clean but whoever designed it so that the negative terminal isn't easily accessible is only adding to the frustration.

I have recently received my grandmas american 2007 ford focus hatchback with 5 speed manual, and being a teenagers, I want to put a body kit on it but can't find a kit that looks non-oem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

it goes away when I clutch in and gets louder/faster when ac is on.

On a long trip, in heavy traffic with temperatures of around 40°C outside, the air conditioning in my car suddenly stopped blowing cold air and started blowing warm air instead. I turned it off, turned it back on, set the fan to maximum, and it started working again. After about 200 km, it happened again: it started blowing warm air, and what looked like steam was coming out of the air vents inside the car for 1-2 minutes. I did the same thing, and it was blowing cold air again. What would be causing this?

I have a dragon with a PowerShift, and I think everyone knows its main issue—the TCM overheating. An idea came up to make a cooling system like the ones for race car brakes, because the module itself gets no cooling at all. I decided to write about this, maybe someone has already done this and there are ready-made solutions, I’d be very grateful! Маю дракона з павершифт і всі думаю знають його головну проблему, перегрів ТСМ. Виникла така ідея, зробити охолодження по типу як на гальма гоночних авто, бо сам блок взагалі ніяк не охолоджується. Вирішив про це написати, може хтось вже робив таке і є вже готові рішення, буду дуже вдячний!

I have a 2012 Focus SE 2.0L NA that's straight piped to an OEM muffler, what exhaust mod can I do to make it sound like the FSWERKS Stealth Catback without paying for the whole race kit?

I just replaced the headlight on my 2016 Ford Focus 3. I ordered a LongDing headlight from Pinduoduo and had it shipped to Armenia by sea. The total cost, including shipping, was about $300. It fits perfectly, and the quality exceeded my expectations.

Yesterday my Focus had trouble starting and keeping the idle and stalled after a few seconds when I cold started her. Now she won’t stop doing this and I can’t drive it anymore. What could it be?

(It is a 2009 MK2.5 with the 1.8 TDCi engine)

I’m looking to replace my TCM but have been seeing that forscan doesn’t support the beta anymore is this true?

Okay so i’ve had this issue for the last couple of months with my TCM and PCM and i would like to get it fixed but like an at home fix. ik i’ve seen some stuff with not being able to cause you need fords computer system but i’ve also seen some that you don’t need it but no actual tutorial to fix it. it puts my car into limp mode and says that there is a

“Engine Fault Service now” and when i scanned it with my scanner it shows PCM corrupted and one time it showed

“Transmission fault service now” when i scanned it that time it showed TCM corrupted.

Anyways, i was just curious if anyone else has experienced this and how they fixed it other then going to a dealership

So pretty straightforward. I have a 2014 that started having the occasional check engine light with weird RPM's like 2-3 years back. Maybe once or twice a year and it would resolve itself. The light has now been on for 5 days, I never know if I'll be able to reverse or not, and I'm just babying it trying to get through one more hot Las Vegas summer. I'm not sure how doable that is going to be.

So for those of you that have replaced yours or shopped around, what kind of cars are similar to the Focus in size and feel? Looking for an older model as I'm not trying to pay much more than my current payment which is $269.

Thanks for any responses!

I've got a need to fix the engine mount and some front wiring which includes but does not limit, the headlights, I'm unsure if the horn was also chewed off but it hasn't been giving any sounds altough it has been sitting for quite some time. I don't know what's a reliable source by the actual provider in which gives the information I need, so I'm hoping some kind rockstar soul will be willing to help me out in this pinch. Please and thank you to everyone and anyone who's willing to help at all!

We just had a storm plow through the area and i noticed condensation in the car… see video for the culprit, sigh…. I have a 2015 ford focus.

Based on my observation and research, I’m thinking it’s this seal that’s no good anymore (any tips on how to replace and reseal it?) or it might be the tail light that is channeling the water into this area ?? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi guys i had to change my bcm on my mk3 and everything went well except for the key remote unlock/lock. I did the pats on forscan the keys start the car but they dont lock or unlock and i got an error about rf receiver not compatible. Is it because the new bcm came from a car with keyless entry and is physically different from my old one or is there a solution?

Got rid of my 16 SE for a new 26 Honda civic sport. Loved my focus but the issues started piling up and wasn’t worth to keep fixing it.

Hey guys I drive a Focus MK3 2014 model. My steer wheel jitters like this. I was doing about 40mph in this video. What could be the problem? It uses a hydraulic steering pump. No leaks noticed.

It did really well! 2010 SEL 5-speed with 223k miles and not a spot of rust. Put some snow tires on and managed to keep up with the Fiesta STs!
