Alarm SolvedSolved

Ford Focus 2010  150000 miles
The alarm's remote control that comes with the car keys has stopped working. I've changed the battery with no positive response. I'm now using the keys to open the car, but as the alarm remains activated, every time I open it I need to quickly introduce the ignition key so that the alarm stops.

You should first check the internal contact of the alarm's corresponding button in the original key. I as well recommend you to repair the key and disconnect the alarm from the battery's feeding.

I have a mk3 that has an overhead console lighting panel incorporating sunglasses holder and the 2 alarm sensors, the red strip lights were working and then I noticed they now won't come on - any ideas?

Try going into the menu on the dash right hand buttons on wheel and see if they've been turned off by accident
red_girl from United Kingdom 6 years ago
Thank you for your reply - unfortunately I have tried the menus but nothing. I think a bulb must need replacing but can't access it?? I'm taking it to a garage in the hope that they know!
Steve from United Kingdom 6 years ago
They're Led's not bulbs so try Ford see if its a computer glich that they can reset are the door handles the footwells and the cup holders lite up so you'll know if it's the bulbs or the system

Ah I don't think this model has those nice bits as they haven't ever lit up but the console light did. It was 1st registered on 30/6/11 so it's an early model being a Ti-VCT. I will get a garage to check though.
Steve from United Kingdom 6 years ago
Ford are a pain as not all the cars have these bits mine has some options you wouldn't expect and misses some things you'd expect. Mine only has one trip meter but others have two.

Yes its very weird how the spec changes although I think mine has the city pack extras, park sensors, folding mirrors that have a light under and 4 electric windows. The manuals often make no sense either - previously had a S reg focus ghia with all extras at the time and sunroof, lovely car but rubbish manual! I'll post a response if I ever get it sorted!

Ps. I often wondered if it could be a fuse but don't know where to find out what number it would be as not listed in the manual!
Steve from United Kingdom 6 years ago
Think the fuse for these also operates the interior roof lamps and a few other circuits hopefully it's a simple repair. Mine a manual titanium so has reversing sensors but no electric folding mirrors or lights on exterior mirrors no privacy glass in the back and 18 inch alloy wheels
red_girl from United Kingdom 6 years ago
Thank you, maybe not the fuse then as interior roof lights are working. I really hope to get it looked at soon, just had to spend out £250 insurance excess as someone did a hit and run on my car at the end of May! They did over £1100 damage!
