Depends on the make/model, but most manufacturers use a simple one-wire hood switch. When the hood is open, the switch connects the wire to ground and the hood open indicator lights up. it's easy for a manufacturer to incorporate a ground sense circuit into the alarm. Basically, if your hood switch has one wire to it (or sometimes two wires), leaving it unplugged could solve your problem with false triggering the alarm. Although some cars have two hood open switches. In any case, make sure to check that your hood is closed securely with the hood open switch disconnected.

Most probably you don't need to change them, it sounds like you need to set your valve clearance.

well you could pull the lever to pull the gas tank while you have someone just gently push the back of the lid. if that don't open it then your cable to your gas tank is broken

you have a security system on it. call dealer to get instructions or look in owners manual.

the fuel filter is not in the tank,the fuel pump might be thats why you need the haynes repair manual to see where these items are located,fuel filters are usualy outside the tank on the fuel line and the fuel pump might be able to be accessed under your back seat or trunk,but you would need the manual to know for sure or look it up on a search engine

The decision depends on many factors, including the state or province you live in and the amount of the deductible. Your insurance agent should be able to lay out your options and give you better advise than anyone who doesn't know these factors.

Well it depends on what you tested in the circuit most horns are vary simple they have a 12 volt wire hot and it goes through the horn to ground . If you put your muilty meter on OHMS and touch the red lead to the +side on the horn and the black lead to the ground side the meter should read 000 or vary low resistance if not go to the frame with the black lead if it reads 000 or differane from the last test then the horn is bad. Next test the power supply to the horn so put the meter on the 20 volt DC. scale unplug the wires from the horn and see if you have 12 volts or any voltage comeing to the horn you may have to turn the key to run depending on how its wires but if the blinkers work the horn should to . You likely have more then 1 horn so look around in there make sure of what your doing or the tests will be no good . If you have no power at this point check the fuse box for a burnt out fuse it won't be a big amp fuse mabey 10 amps and may not say horn. Im sorry i don't know exactly ware the relay is on a 2008 focus but it would be in whats called a relay center witch you likely would be able to find in the oweners manual in the glove box . But the horn is rarely used and most likely a connection problem they tend to be low on the vehicle and get wet along with road salts in the winter depending ware you live can get corroided . But if your going to test make sure the test is going to give you the information you need to correctly daigonis the problem Good luck

The code is for the throttle body control system. It could be a dirty throttle body or a bad sensor.

Your Ford may need a firmware update, contact your local Ford dealer for details.

Look in your manual and see how to reprogram the tire pressure sensors. At least I would start with that.
