Ford Focus erratic displays
Variant: 1.6 black
Model Year: 2001
Categories:
Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Hi guys, just found the site and hope someone can help. I have a 51 plate 1.6 focus with 53K miles. Occasionally when driving(anywhere between 40-65 mph)the power reduces and the dash displays go boz the speedo and rev counter drop to zero and the trip meter and mileage just show dashes. The engine management light comes on and when i go to the garage to have it checked they can't seem to find a fault, when light is re-set (turned off) this lasts about 2 days then pops back on again. got fed up with having it re-set without sorting the underlying problem, any ideas welcome. thanks jeff

I am having the dash replaced for £99 from ford dealer on Thursday.
The following is from the Which web site.
The carmaker will also refund the difference to anyone who has already paid more than £99 to have theirs fixed, although owners will have to provide a repair receipt from an official Ford dealer.
It has also set up a special customer hotline on 0800 166166 and says there is nothing indicating a similar issue with any other models in the Ford range.
