artscot79 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 if i remember correctly you need to disconnect the battery for half an hour unbolt the airbag and pull it off. unhook it and set it aside with thebag portion facing up. Remove the nut in the center of the steeringwheel. pull the wheel off. remove the spacer. unhook and remove theclockspring. Making sure the new clockspring is centered, install itonto the column and then install the spacer and wheel over it. zing thenut on and then hook up and reinstall the airbag. Then go reattach the battery cable on the clock spring there is a tag, which breaks off, simple remove air bag(igntion off, then under the bolts on the back of the steering wheel(poss torque bits required) then once out of the way you will see thecentre nut for the steering wheel. now undo bolt about 3/4 out, pull onthe steering wheel and hit the middle bolt with hammer to get wheel off.once removed, remove colum cowl & switch's then you will see the clock spring (with ribboncable inside. try not to turn this as it will cause problems after. asthere wont be enough cable to complete the full turn of the wheel. a new clock spring will be available on eBay like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Focus-Mk1-Air-Bag-Clock-Squib-Spring-98AB-14A664-BF-AG-/321186241392?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Cars+Year%3A2001|Car+Make%3AFord|Model%3AFocus&hash=item4ac8311b70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Singh Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 on out mk1 focus the indicator never self-cancelled. we learned to live with it and switch the indicator off ourself. and it was like that when we bought it right up until the day we sold it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focus-Jonny Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 This problem reared its head when i owned my mk1 focus! It was the clock spring as Arthur has suggested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
