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

Rear right door not locking

Ford Focus 2004 1.4 5D  140000 miles
Suddenly the rear right door stopped locking. It’s not locking neither by central lock nor by locking it separately. Actually the lock button on the door handle is not responsive anymore and it’s like it’s stuck to the door handle.

Check Fuses for corresponding door in rear fuse box. That probably blown or shorted common issue with water ingress

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.

From experience, your fan controller is going bad. It's in the radiator shroud and can be replaced in under an hour. You may also find your car randomly overheats in slow or stopped traffic. That's because the fan shuts off entirely. I swapped mine a few years back and not a single issue (with that system) since.

Check R16 (Ignition Relay) under the hood (second one down starting from the very top left). You can swap it temporarily with R15 (Rear Defroster Relay) above it for troubleshooting purposes.

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

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

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...

اشتعال اضواء الطابلون بعد فتح باب السائق

Ford Focus 2009 ناقل الح كة يدوي 1.8 25000 miles
Issue: 2009 Ford Focus (Push-Start) Instrument Cluster, interior lights, and 12V socket stay ON and fail to enter "Sleep Mode" after engine shut-off. Symptoms: The problem is intermittent (comes and goes). Door latches and battery are fine; pulling Fuse 112 (Audio/BT) did not help, but stopping the engine while the door is closed bypasses the glitch. Inquiry: Is this a Battery Saver Relay failure inside the BCM/GEM Module, or could moisture/corrosion in the module connectors be blocking the Shutdown

No start issues

Ford Focus 2005 Hatchback 230000 miles
The car wouldn't start. So we used a jumper. When we connected the positive the starter would turn on with no key in the ignition.. we found the problem was the two terminals on the starter had touched.. (problem fixed) but now turning the key does nothing but make the "forgot key" alarm sound while the door is open. The cigarette lighter works the headlights work the mirrors work. But the gauges, windshield wipers, radio, and ignition don't work.. we have checked all the fuses both by taking them out and using a multimeter. No fuses are blown and they are getting power... the battery was replaced in all of this and the old battery is still good and holds a charge..
