hi there sharondav are u able to remove unit & look for serial no. on side unit serial no. starts with m & is six figure no.u need radio pins to take unit out which u can purchase at local car accessories or if you ask nicely u can ask u r local ford garage to take unit out it you can i will be able to get radio code for u.
I just removed my front grill yep had to break it off, but easyly and neatly and use black tie wraps from b & q to put it back its just a cover nothing more folks use double tie put together to lenghen to your needs, on your bumpers at the either side near head lights there are plastic clips thread them through there and then place grill back through, a bit fiddly but it can be done, use pin nose pliers or tweezers to pull tie wraps back through and tie off.
Now the lock, mine was a swine, i gave it thought and thought and after really cutting me knuckles. found that where the housing is around the lock, the housing at the sides going to the back are plastic u just drilled these away to hole big enough to allow me to get a 10 ring spanner in and enough room ie cut more away if needed to undo the 2 bolts holding the lock in place, this way is easier and quicker by miles. i did the same on the other side i checked before doing any of this, and it does not matter as there is a black plastic cover over the latch you will this once open, that covers it all up. and you can,t see anyting once you put the grill back, try it i have some pics i will put on here so check mmm out, i tried for ages and i did it this way, you don,t have to its just a way to do it, it worked for me and i did my mates as well, and you can,t even tell.
You have a loose connection on a wire sum wire on the radio id take the radio out in make sure every thing is tight where it needs to be in change the fuse on the back of the radio
2002 ford focus cold start problem. turns over but will not start. cannot hear fuel pump.. keep turning key on and off and finally hear fuel pump come on and car will start.
often times the owners manual will tell you fuse box locations and give you a diagram to which fuse controls what, and what amprage fuse youll need to replace it with. if the manual doesnt tell you which fuse controls what, then the fuse box should have a diagram somewhere close by like on a cover to the actual box. if all else fails, google "fuse box location 2001 focus" and see where it is
The good news is that you are going to most likely be able to fix this program with your 2001 Ford Focus Key Fob. Follow the steps below and you should be able to get it working again:
1) Change the battery
Batteries don't last forever, you'll be surprised how often it's just a dead battery! Click here for a video on how to open a GM key fob, or search our YouTube channel on how to change a battery for your specific year, make, and model!
2) Wipe the board
The board inside your remote can get a lot more filthy than you think! When the board is dirty it can prohibit the contact to the circuit board when you push down on the button. Simply wiping the circuit board off can make your key fob like new again!
3) The old car battery reset trick
I know this sounds absurd, but it works sometimes and is worth trying. If you exhausted all of the options above, disconnect bot terminals on your car battery for 10 minutes. Then reconnect them and try your key fob. This has worked for many people and I have no idea why. If you do, please comment below to explain.
4) Get it checked
Go to your local hardware store like AutoZone or Oreilly's. They usually have a RF frequency tester. This little gadget will let you know if your key fob is sending a signal. If it is, you may need to reprogram your key fob to your vehicle
5) Reprogram:
*** THERE ARE 2 POSSIBLE PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES. ***Procedure #1Note: Obtain all remote transmitters for this vehicle.
Note: Do not depress the brake pedal during procedure.
Turn ignition from OFF to RUN 8 times within 10 seconds, with the 8th time ending in RUN. Door locks will cycle to confirm programming mode. (Off is the position where you can remove your key, RUN is the position just shy of starting your car.)
Within 20 seconds press any button on the first keyless remote to be programmed. Door locks will cycle to confirm programming. If you only have one remote then skip to step 4.
Within 20 seconds, press any button on the second keyless remote. Door locks will cycle again to confirm programming. Repeat step 3. For all other remotes.
Turn ignition to OFF. Locks will again cycle to indicate end of programming mode.
Procedure #2Note: Obtain all remote transmitters for this vehicle.1Fasten seat belts and close all doors.
Turn ignition from OFF to RUN 4 times within 6 seconds, with the 4th time ending in RUN. (Off is the position where you can remove your key, RUN is the position just shy of starting your car.)
Turn ignition to OFF. Acoustic signal will sound and system warning lamp will illuminate to confirm programming mode.
Within 10 seconds, press and hold any button on the first keyless remote. Wait for acoustic sound and warning lamp to flash (confirming programming) then release button on remote. Wait 2 seconds but within 10 seconds repeat step 4. For all other remotes. If you only have one remote then continue to step 5.
Turn ignition to Crank or wait 10 seconds to end programming mode.
Sometimes not getting power to start can be the simplest thing. Make sure your battery is getting good connection, take the battery cable off the battery post and clean any corrosion off between them with wire brush, pocker knife or battery post cleaning tool. When finished apply a thin layer on the post inside of battery cable, of petroleum jelly or grease (this will slow any return of corrosion). Reapply battery cables to battery post, do not over tighten. If the battery is over four years old, there’s a good chance it needs to be replaced. Do a load test at your local automotive parts store. It could be the solenoid on the starter, the part store can test that too but you’ll have to take it off most likely. If it’s none of these a automotive store can help you determine what the cause might be, I find they are generally helpful in determining the problem. Most you can borrow the tools to fix it from them, or if you don’t feel up to doing it yourself, they can recommend a local garage or dealership to fix the problem.
The ECU doesn't have anything to do with lights, windows or blower on your vehicle. Fuse or burned ground wire in those circuits if far more likely. Get a wiring diagram and find the common /fuseswires to those circuits.
?ok I see it says warning lights on // I want you to disconnect the battery cables for 15 minutes or more while doing this go to the power distribution box and disconnect the cables coming from the battery and alternator clean all cables and connectors with 4/0 === 0000 steel wool from a hardware store or home depot Lowe's ETC DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH ON ANYTHING THIS WILL TAKE OFF THE METAL AND LEAD FrOM THE BATTERY POST AND ALL CONNECTIONS RESULTING IN POOR CONTACT AND TIGHTNESS NEVER EVER USE THESE THE 0000 STEEL WOOL AND PB BLASTER//LIQUID WRENCH WD40 WILL GET EVERYTHING CLEAN WITHOUT RIPPING THE METALS UP OKAY NOW THAT BEING SAID LET'S MOVE ON ///////(NEXT) RECONNECT THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX CABLE NICE AND TIGHT MAKING SURE ALL THE EYELETS ARE FLUSH AGAINST EACH OTHER AND TIGHT AROUND THE BOX STUD STICKING OUT WHERE THEY CAME FROM BEFORE WHEN YOU TOOK THEM OFF OK NOW GET OUT YOUR REMOTE KEY FOB AND HAVE IT READY FOR CONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLES THE ALARM WILL SOUND AND YOU MUST DISABLE IT BY PRESSING YOUR BUTTON CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN UP THE BATTERY CABLES AGAIN MAKING SURE THEY ARE TIGHT AND WILL NOT MOVE IF YOU TRY TO TURN THE CABLES BY HAND///// NEXT I WANT YOU TO GET IN THE CAR PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND ONLY TURN IT TO GET THE DASH LIGHTS/////EX.OIL,BATTERY ABS AIRBAG CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND OBSERVE THEM AS THEY GO OUT////// THIS IS THE SELF TEST MODE FOR THE OBD2 SYSTEM TO CHECK ITSELF OUT THAT ALL SENSORS ARE FUNCTIONING IF THERE'S A PROBLEM A LIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROBLEM WILL STAY LIT AND YOU MUST HAVE THAT CODE READ SO YOU KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM IS IF NO LIGHTS ARE ON NOW TURN THE KEY AND START THE CAR AND GO FOR A DRIVE IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN HAVE THE CODES READ AT AN AUTO PARTS IF IT DOESN'T THAT'S GOOD AND IT'S WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS AND THAT IS////\\\\\ THE CONNECTIONS FOR POWER FROM THE BATTERY AND THE POWER DISTRIBUTION BOX WERE DIRTY OR CORRODED AND THIS BLOCKS ELECTRICAL CURRENT FROM PASSING THROUGH YEAH SOME COULD GET THROUGH BUT MAYBE NOT ENOUGH RESULTING IN SOME THINGS NOT WORKING FROM POOR VOLTAGE//////\\\\\\\NEXT IF THE SAME THING HAPPENS AS FAR AS THE WINDOWS DOOR LOCKS MIRRORS ETC.

Do u have white clouds of exhaust? it may be burning it. CK the oil too to see if the oil & coolant are mixing.IF SO, HEAD GASKET or internal engine problems
There are different batteries for Ford. You can buy cheap without much warranty or expensive with lots of warranty and in between Get your receipt and check it out. Take your warranty papers and receipt to where you bought it..
Take it to an autoparts store which gives free testing. Places like autozone or Oreillys will do this. It can be a part that plugs in or something you need a mechanic for. But you can price a repair by calling a garage once you know what the diagnostic code is.
Hi, What is needed is rewiring job or buy a new wiring loom but if you need the loom you need a good elektriks guy to re-wire the vehicle. Hope this helps give me feedback please. Thanks, Malcolm Campbell.
