Hi! I have a ford focus 1.8 2005 model. My problem is when i start the engine my headlights are flashing, maybe like 2 or 3 flickers then it stops when the engine is running.. Can it be connected to the alam system of the car? Pls help! Thanks!

    Sounds more likely to be a symptom that your battery is dying.

    To confirm, do you have headlights switched off when your starting the car?

    Yup.. Headlights are off..

    sounds like your battery is dying will likely need a replacement, so you will need a silver calcium replacement

    Thanks! Will have it check.. But another one is just this morning my alarm signals flashing for about a minute. Can it also be related to the battery? Sorry for asking too many things.. :)

    Its quite probable to be honest. Even if the battery reports its OK, it could still have a warped cell, so I would prepare a backup plan in case you dont purchase a repacement battery.
