stebo88 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I bought a ford focus that was in a crash before i got it. The passenger door was replaced and the electric isnt working on it. The window is working but the remote key doesnt unlock it and the power mirror wont work so can only adjust it by hand. Also the mirror on the driver side doesnt work. Any ideas what the problem might be bearing in mind im not very mechanical and cant really afford to take it to an auto electrician. Thanks in advance.

troy45 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Couple of things I can think of - the door connections or wiring to the body may have been damaged and not repaired properly, or the replaced door hasn't been connected to the body loom correctly. If the door was sourced off another Focus it may not match the spec of the rest of the car, or it's door module may need reconfiguring to work with your car.

stebo88 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Thanks. How would i find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Expect you'd have to get the doorpad off or at least pull the connector from the door pillar, probably depends what model Focus you have. Can soon get tricky if you have to do that and aren't that mechanically minded. Something to check before diving in further - are all the fuses OK? maybe it's something as simple as that, as long as any blown fuses don't blow again.

STEADS Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Agree with troy on this one possible off a lower spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stebo88 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 If its off a lower spec can it be wired up? Its just annoying having to move the mirrors by hand and having to open passenger do from the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Could be difficult, only just discovered this myself but for the mk2/2.5 models higher spec cars have door modules whilst the lower specs don't. Might take some creative wiring to get things working again. Does the mirror on the passenger side have the manual adjuster in the door casing then? what model/age Focus have you got?

STEADS Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 No reason why not but you would need the door loom off a same spec car and anything else that's missing from within the panel possible the lock is not compatible with frequency on the key that said all other doors bar drivers are slave solenoids the master being the drivers door solenoid so apart from a wiring fault or faulty solenoid no reson why it shouldn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stebo88 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Focus zetec climate 1.8 2007. The mirror control is on the drivers side theres no manual control on the passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy45 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 In theory.....with the help of the wiring schematics pinned on here it'd be possible to work out how to re-wire the loom to match the rest of the car. That's something I'd be confident in doing myself but Ive lots of experience with wiring jobs. If the door is wrong spec it then also depends if you can just swap the loom over to match or would need a door module as well (these may be part of the glass motor/regulator) and if the signals from the main harness all tie up etc. Would need some deep digging doing to understand everything better.
