Trunk button SolvedSolved

The trunk button of my Focus is not working. Does anyone know whether it is a fuse, a sensor or a mechanical problem? Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem and it was solved over time. In my case it worked but every time I had to press it harder, guess it was dirty...

I took out the button and noticed it was not making proper contact. I expanded it a bit and it is now working back!

Most likely faulty door module. Would require diagnostics to identify which module is at fault.

Hi I have a 2007 Ford escape i don't no how long i have had this issue it could have been like this when i brought it last year. The problem is the rear (tailgate) door and window are not locking only the other 4 doors lock with the remote we have tried most things but with no luck. Does this mean we have to buy a new locking system or is there anything more i should try first. I hope it is not expensive to replace the actuator as i dont have a lot of money as i am on a disability payment so i will try any suggestions that i can first. Kind regards Anthony

Fuel pump engages intermittently

Ford Focus 2008 4 door 2.0 sedam 128000 miles
Have to click ignition on and off repeatedly sometimes til you hear the pump then no problems. Sidenote: trunk is soaked some sort of breach where water is entering trunk compartment. Could that be affecting wiring? Or possibly is it a relay? Battery new terminals clean no stalling literally no other issues.

It sounds like you are experiencing an issue with the fuel pump in your 2008 Ford Focus engaging intermittently. There could be a number of reasons why this is occurring, and it will be necessary to diagnose the problem to determine the cause.
One potential cause could be a problem with the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump relay is responsible for supplying power to the fuel pump, and if it is not functioning properly, it could cause the fuel pump to engage intermittently.
Another potential cause could be a problem with the wiring for the fuel pump. If the wiring is damaged or corroded, it could cause the fuel pump to engage intermittently.
If you have recently noticed that the trunk of your vehicle is soaked with water, this could also potentially be a contributing factor to the issue you are experiencing with the fuel pump. Water entering the trunk compartment could potentially cause problems with the wiring or other electrical components in the vehicle.
I recommend having a mechanic diagnose the issue to determine the cause and recommend the appropriate repairs. They will be able to test the fuel pump relay and check the wiring and other electrical components to identify any problems and make the necessary repairs.

Is the key worn-out or does it look ok? Maybe the ignition is dirty. In that case it can be fixed by spraying small doses of an electrical cleaner in the ignition and afterwards gently sliding the key in and out of the ignition cylinder many times. Do not force it! Try this and let me know.

Notorious poor key assembly. Had to replace mine also. I got lucky tho, I found a tech who could pair up my key to existing computer codes.

Sometimes I found if the car was on an incline if I rocked it while trying to turn key it would loosen and turn, or rocking the steering wheel, unitl finally gave up altogether. I got lucky tho with the tech (500 for new ignition coded to my key and 2 new keys)

Yeah, me again, I've almost replaced everything so far. Like, motor mounts, heater fan, heater fan switch, doors don't open from outside, throttle bodies, ignition...

Oh yeah and, wheel bearings all four, stablizer bars, tie rods, control arms, ummmm, like timing belt, headlight lenses (fogged and damaged from inside due to moisture getting in through inferior gasket seal in lenses, don't go to Ford they want close to 1000 for both, not including labour) ummm alternator, on and on and on...

Your fan module needs to be replaced, just replace the whole fan assembly.

Had this problem too. More Ford "quality". So so far my throttle body can crap out, or I can pass out on a railway track and nobody would be able to open my doors.

Potential electrical fault?

Ford Focus 2005  195000 miles
I’ve got a bit of a strange issue going on with my car. It’s a ford focus 05. Whilst driving the handbrake light came on, then I noticed the electric windows and indicators weren’t working. The rear windscreen wiper kept turning itself on. The windows now seem to have come back on, and the indicators are now barely flashing but they’re not showing on the dash. The electric locking system is now also not working.

Does anyone have any ideas with what’s going on here?
