kennymcd Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hi, I have a Ford Focus 2006 with an intermittent fault while driving - the instrument panel lights come on and the car loses power. If I stop and restart it it runs fine with no problems. Anyone any ideas. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Exactly what circumstances when driving? when you hit a bump?, when you take foot off throttle? on throttle? etc Check battery connections and wiring harnesses Have you access to a fault code reader? would be a good time to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celticfan Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I may be mistaken ( I quite often am) but I seem to recall that when I was looking to buy my 56 plate Focus in 2007 that there were a few Foci around that time having problems with the soldering on the pcb behind the dash.
