Jord1982 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 My Focus 2.5 Facelift model is showing on the dash the bonnet is open and i is illuminated and makes a warning sound everyone and then. This just flashed up while driving & won't disappear dispute opening & closing the bonnet several times (the bonnet wasn't open originally) there is also an astrix/star that is also illuminated. Can anyone help? It would be much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The illuminated star may be your ice warning, Is it 4 degrees or lower there? The bonnet warning points to a corroded/jammed sensor in the bonnet lock, give it a good blast of WD40 or electrical contact cleaner and see how you go.

Jord1982 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks for your help. The light normally comes on when the weather is freezing but it was warm & sunny yesterday, I didn't know if it was linked to this bonnet issue because it's only come since then. I'll try your advice with WD40. Is just around the latch under the bonnet then? Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yep, around the latch. You should see a metal pin sticking up from the top of the latch, spray around that and operate it a few times to work the oil in. If that doesn't help then you may need to swap the latch unit over or get it looked at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jord1982 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 When I got in my car after work the next day, the heating was working - no hot or cold not to mention air con! I assumed it was related and checked the fuse box, one of them was lose, I replaced it and hay presto! It all worked. Thanks for all your advice.
