2001 Focus 1.6Lxi Lights Problem

Featured Replies

I was recently told that my reversing light wasn't working so I bought a replacement bulb. I put it in today and It's made no difference and to make it worse the rear lights aren't working either. I have looked in the fuse compartment but I have no idea what to look for. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.



Hi Nick,

Are all lights failing, or just one cluster?

I would remove the light cluster and check the connection and make sure that its in good shape, then track it back to the earth point and clean it up.

Hi James, It's just the reversing light and the actual lights that arent working. The brake lights are working fine...Could it be a fuse?

Its more likely a connection as the lights I dont believe are individually fused.easiest thing to do, is swap the clusters over. Although you cant lay them in situ, you should hopefully be able to just plug it in and check it out. see if that lights the bulbs up?

Well today I found out my rear lights are actually working so it's just the reversing light that isn't. Thank you for your advice I appreciate it.

Check if you have power to the reverse light bulb. If not it is likely that the switch needs replacing in the gearbox.

Bruce beat me to it!
