Ford Focus Dash Fault (Dashboard Instrument Cluster)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- This Ford Focus dashboard instrument cluster is a common problem that causes complete or intermittent failure of all instrument functions. This will also cause the engine to cut out and not restart, along with the immobiliser light constantly flashing. Commonly when failure occurs the mileage will not work and instead display dashes [-------]
These dash faults will affect Ford focus 04-11, C-Max 04-10, Fusion 02-12 and Ford Kuga 08-13
Common Failure Symptoms:
Loss of all instrument cluster functions and lights
Speedometer, temperature and rev counter drops to zero
Engine cuts out while driving
Non start
Immobiliser light flashes
Mileage shows dashes
Intermittent illumination of warning lights
Erratic gauges
Pixilated screen

Usually it's just a case of resoldering the main 34-way Tyco connector at the front of the instrument cluster's circuit board. The whole assembly clips together, so it's a bit fiddly. The gauge needles are removed as follows: Twist and pull large dials anticlockwise, small gauge dials are pulled and twisted in a clockwise direction to remove without damaging. The front fascia is then removed in order to gain access to the 34-way Tyco harness connector, which will have dry joints and will need to be resoldered, preferably with leaded solder!
I actually carried out this procedure on a friend’s Focus last week and the car has been running perfectly since.
Are the gauges easily changed or are you only removing needles?My speedometer stopped working and I have another cluster for parts? Any help is much apreciated. or is it the 34 way tyco connector causing it to mess-up you think
@@jacobsmooki2328 Hi. I only removed the needles, but once you remove the circuit board, the motors for the gauges can be desoldered from the board. There’s a good video here: ruclips.net/video/6o8x8HnYzMA/видео.html
There is a way to test the gauges on the Mk.1 Focus. I think you held down the trip reset button while turning on the ignition or something. Might be worth checking that just in case there’s a problem with the speed sensor on the car somewhere. If it needs to come apart then this video is a good guide: ruclips.net/video/6o8x8HnYzMA/видео.html
@@davemckiernanwhere are you from mate fancy having a look at mine ?
I just had this on a 2007 Mondeo - the radio would switch off / not power on for no reason. Turns out it was the lack of the MM-CAN from the instrument cluster - dry joints on the connector. Disassembled the cluster, removed the lead free solder from the connector pads and resoldered with good old 60/40. No more issues.
This video was confirmation this was my issue

Great video though. Clear and professional.
I don't have flicking lights. My problem is that the outside temperature is not showing the red frost sign on the hand break light is on. The clicker for the turn signals is not on, but the outside lights do work. Centrol locking with the key won't work right and won't lock the doors manually, and the heated windscreen won't come on. But the car drives fine
Excellent
Hi I have a Mk4 mondeo 09 plate I only have the middle bit working but the rev and speedo and diesel and temp needle are not working what do I do please
my ford focus 2010 model shows engine malfunction sign some time when i turn the engine on , red light stay on but after few minutes disappeared . I send my car to Halfords diagnose centre and they said they didnt find any problem then Mr clutch diagnoses as well and they said the same so any one knows what is the real problem ? or is there any danger fault can appear during driving? TIA
My problem always starts with the tpms light. But then ill get other lights too.like the brake light or door ajar light,, oh ya and the AC always qits working. I can usually smack the dash and it goes back to normal. Slowly its been getting worse and more often
My problems is. My battery drain out overnight even I not use my car. So I checked with multimeter and take out one by one fuse at passenger side. Then after I pull out Instrument cluster relay, automatically amphere reading of Multimeter drop significantly which is means Instrument cluster cause battery drain. But, after I put the fuse back, I cannot start the engine. Did I need to setting anything? Theres a bliking sign at dashboard meter ask me to setting. But I dont know how to do it.
what would be the cost to repair an instrument cluster because i am getting U1900 coming up when i do a diagnostic

When i turn my headligjts on, my fuel guage goes to zero although i have fuel in the car. When i turn the lights off, the fuel guage is fine. After driving a while the car thinks i have no fuel and it says i need to service the car and the engine has a fault. I took the cluster out and checked the solder, all good but still a problem, any ideas?
Hi. The symptoms you are describing could indicate a fault with the instrument cluster, but it is not something with have seen before and could be an external module/wiring fault. If you would like to send your unit into us for testing please email our technical support team on info@ecutesting.com with the following details. Your make and model of vehicle, the symptoms of your fault (as described above), any fault codes present, and the part number printed on your instrument cluster. They will be happy to advise you further.
Hi I have a problem with a 2010 1.6tdci Ford focus keyless start, sometimes it does not listen to the keys and wont start or power up the instrument cluster. if I disconnect the car battery and then reconnect it the car will start. But it will only be ok for a few days then the same problems persists. Is this the instrument cluster? We have replaced the wireless key module in the roof lining but still same problem. Obviously we have changed batteries in the key fobs.
Hi. Please email our technical support team on info@ecutesting.com with the details of your message above, as well as any fault codes present in the vehicle, and finally the part number printed on the back of your instrument cluster. They will be able to advise you further. Thanks.
After fixing this problem, would the digital screen and needles for fuel levels be in sync?
Hi. Yes, the remanufacturing solution we provide for these clusters will sync all needles and digital displays.
2004 ford focus zts 2.3 I need to know hiw much it cost
How much will it cost
@@agnespiggott7507 : *How much IT will cost. 👍
What’s the company address pls , ph no ?
Does this affect Ford Focus 2013 SE also?
While driving multiple error messages appear on my dashboard, it says engine failure, power assist failure, air pressure sensor failure.... the power steering stops working when this happens but the engine does not cut out.
However, once I turn the engine off, it won't restart again. Any ideas?
Hi. It may be an external issue and not one with the instrument cluster, however we would recommend getting the vehicle scanned for fault codes to help diagnose the cause. Please email the results of the scan to our technical support team at info@ecutesting.com along with all the information you have posted in your comment, as well as the part number printed on the back of you cluster. They will be happy to advise you further. Thanks.
Do you send a loned replacement while our
clusters are being repaired ? only asking as
car will be unusable when we send ours in.
Hi. We don't send a replacement unit whilst we work on your cluster as our current turnaround time is only 2-3 working days so you shouldn't be off the road for long!
@@Ecutestinglimited
Okay. Thank you for your reply 😉👍
Does it have any effect on the interior door lights and how are they affecting the blower speed 🤔?
Hi Kevin. We have not encountered these symptoms when testing and re-building the instrument cluster sorry.
how much is the modification then

Hi
Ok I’m getting U1900 among MANY other error codes too! All of a sudden.
I drove through a puddle and all the lights on my cluster started flashing, beeping and saying Engine Malfunction!?
Cant really believe the puddle was a coincidence but also don’t see how it has caused this?
Mechanic is a bit miffed and tried changing the clutch sensor but it hasn’t stopped “engine malfunction” “speed mode” “power steering mode malfunction” messages from beeping up
Pedometers all fail, digits reset. Its horrible when it happens while driving and has been known to not start up again .
Can water ride up and brake the cluster at all??? How has this happened so suddenly?? The car drives perfectly
Codes that appear:
PO231
PO571
P1936
P2121
P2122
U1900
P0231
P0571
P1260
Thanks for reading. I need my car and cant do without it for my job🤦🏻♂️
Hi, driving through the puddle could be coincidence, as we have seen all these faults being related to an instrument cluster fault before. However, it could also be problems with the wiring from the instrument cluster to the BCM, so we would recommend ruling any wiring faults out first before condemning the unit. Please contact our technical support team via email on info@ecutesting.com if you have any further questions, or if you would like to send your instrument cluster in for a re-build. Cheers.
@@Ecutestinglimited hi!
All good! Got it fixed! A dude came , took it out and cleaned it in his van. Works PERFECTLY now!!!
It even seems to have fixed an OLDER problem the car has had all year of cutting out when slowing down for traffic lights & bends etc!
Thanks for your help

I have a problem with my ford focus 2009 1.6L model. The milage screen is stay on when switch off the engine and it does not go off until battery dead. It seems there is no fault on the fuse board. Is this a problem related to Instrumental cluster?
Hi. This isn't something we commonly see from a faulty instrument cluster, however we may still be able to test the unit for you to rule it out.

Could this cause limp mode
Hi, one of the symptoms of this failure is the warning message 'reduced acceleration' showing on the cluster before all the gauges fail and the engine is put into limp mode.
Broken joints on the plug, easy fix..
Socket.
hi, what is that program you are using to control all the needles and dash lights?
My focus instrument cluster screen comes on at random in the night and stays on for a long period of time after the car is turned off. I was wondering if anyone had any idea if this is the cluster on something else Wong with the car already had to replace the battery as it kept going flat and don't want to get left stranded. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi. Are you able to scan for any fault codes? It sounds like it could be the instrument cluster failing. However, without further information, it could also be other factors on the vehicle causing it to stay on, e.g. problems with fuses. If you are able to get any fault codes or have any further questions, please contact our technical support team at info@ecutesting.com and they will assist you further. Thanks.
I bet you have a TravelPilot FX radio, it goes faulty and keeps the can bus alive..

Absolutely terrible video. Yeh he’s right but most often it’s a fuse that’s gone. Go into the handbook guide and check which fuse. Swap it out for one with the same amp and test it
FORD = Ball of rubbish
