2008 Ford Focus SE Sedan - Page 9 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I have a 2002 ford
if the place where you had the oil changed used a oil flush pressure system they could of damaged the seal as they not supposed to have that amount of pressure on them, this would damage all or most of the oil seals. a good oil change is were they dont use one of these systems they cause more problems over time. if you do an oil change its best to do it your self or at a garage you trust. and ask them to add flush cleaner this is a substance you add to the oil and run for 15 min in the engine and then do the oil change, you dont always need to use a flush only if there is a build up of oil carbon in the engine. some build up is normal but if you change the oil regular you don't need to flush as its only old oil that needs changing and flushing. hope this helps
I have a 2000 ford focus SE wagon. it failed
Can you provide the actual code? The codes do not tell what part to replace--they only indicate a problem the computer is having. The problem must be further diagnosed for proper repair.

1. Check the radiator cap.
2. Check the reserve tank, whether water level is maintained or getting filled. If it's getting filled, there should be a leak in the radiator or gasket

If the fuse blows , it has a short to ground on the B+ side of thwe circuit . Don't know where you live ,so don't know what shops there charge ! Your probably looking at a least a hour diagnostic time . There are videos on youtube showing how to find a short . You would need to look at a wiring diagram to see what all that fuse supply's B+ voltage too. Then isolate the different circuits till the fuse doesn't blow . But if you haven't done electrical diagnostics before ?
Question:If the 30 A. fuse on a 2002 focus dash blower motor is good,and the thermal resistor is replaced, then it must be a faulty speed switch?
Don't know where you got your info . The heater blower motor electrical B+ power comes from Fuse F 64 a 40 amp fuse . This goes right to the blower motor on the green with orange stripe wire , The black with red stripe wire goes to the switch for high speed . There is Splice 24 that ties into the black with red stripe wire. The splice 24 turns into a black with orange stripe wire . An this wire goes to the blower motor resistor . All the switch does is route the B+ voltage through the different resistors to ground .
Thermal resistor "usually" stops working is because of faulty fan speed switch ???? Totally not true , resistor assemblies fail because of the heat associated with dropping voltage across the resistors , That is why they put the resistor assembly in the air box . Air blows over to cool the resistors . The switch is nothing more then a way to direct different speeds to ground .
Rather then listening to other people ,why not learn the right way to test electrical circuits .
Electric Testing Techniques You Need to Know
Do you know what a wiring diagram is ?

I don't know the model year? Key on engine off, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Then with key off, see if pressure holds for a bit? If it drops like a rock, check for a fuel pressure leak. If the engine is hot and trying to flood for some reason, your going to have a tough time. Any applicable trouble codes? Check your coolant temp sensor, only if testing leads in that direction.
Smell of your crankcase oil dipstick, does it smell like gas?
