Focused on my Focus Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Afternoon everyone, On my wifes 1.4 52 plate (68,000) Focus, the door open warning light keeps flicking on and off. I've checked all the doors, including boot and there's nothing open.I've slammed the boot and the light stays off for a while but then comes back on.Any ideas what causes the light to flicker? Many Thanks Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 One of the sensors is playing up, but the problem is thatthe older focus doesnt specify which door or boot is open, you would need to isolate that much I guess and see if you can track which swotch is playing up.

Thanks for the speedy response James. Any idea how i might get around isolating which switch it might be? Many Thanks Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Right now I couldn't say I would pop to a scrappy and pick up 3 mechanisms cheap and replace all, or 5 if it's a 5 dppe Sent from my MY SAGA C2 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Pity it wasn't a MK2 as then you would have an in-built diagnostic mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah thats the problem, and short of wiring in some sort of notification to each door to track it, you might as well just replace the catches, probably cheaper and easier in the long run!

neal69 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 did you solve the problem i'am having the same trouble only my light just stays on, can any one tell me if i disconnected each one in turn would this help to find the faulty switch or would this make the light stay on any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 this would show the lights staying on all the time as the connection is always open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
