ELushion Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hi, so just went to start my car and no luck. Weird. It was fine when I left it!! So I push the start button and nothing is happening. Weirdest part is, the little display on the dashboard is not showing anything either except time and milage. Its not displaying that the doors open, that the keys missing. Nothing in the middle bit. Its just showing this (below) and its also not dimming, even when the cars locked the dashboard display still stays light! Its a Ford Focus MK2.5 2011 Zetec S btw!

Preee Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 have you got a tester to see the voltage of the battery ? Damp weather could have caused it to discharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELushion Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 No I dont. But all the lights still work, even the radio so there must be charge? I just disconnected the battery there now in an attempt to reset the electricals, the wee dashboard display went off( had been on all night). So gonna leave it 15minutes then reconnect.

Preee Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 You still need a certain battery level before the car will start even if the lights are still working , also check all your fuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELushion Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 The weird part is. You know the wee display that I have pictured. When I open the car, it doesnt show door open, doesnt show key not found. If I press the stalk it beeps, but still shows nothing. What am I looking for on the fuses, is there a sign ones blown?

Preee Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 check under bonnet fuses and passenger foot well fuses , you need to pull them out one by one , as they are not easy to see it they are blown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELushion Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Fantastic lol, them buggers under the footwell are a pain in the ^&% to pull out. Cheers for the help! So annoyed at this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELushion Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 Well! That worked!! I have two questions though. 1. How long does the wee dash display stay lit normally? 2. My radio now needs a code, a V code.. is the only way dealer or eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Did you find a blown fuse? 1) dash stays on for approx 10 minutes after you lock the car. 2) V code is dealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELushion Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 I never checked for a fuse! Once I disconnected, and reconnected the battery all is working again. The wee dash even goes off at 10 mins.. Very weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
