hodgo64 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 hi, does anyone have any experience of the stereo buttons on the mark 4 ( or 3.5) focus not illuminating? it seems to be an intermittent fault on my car and its not happened when I took it back to the dealer, or when I tried to video it?

iantt Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 im sure ive heard about this before somewhere, does it coincide with putting a cd in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgo64 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 hi, funny you should ask about cd's, the only way to make the buttons illuminate when the fault happens is to press the ''eject'' button, whereupon the stereo buttons, hazard warning button and the stereo power button all light up!!

iantt Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 thought it was something to do with cd operation, contact your dealer and they should be able to sort it out for you, they should know about this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgo64 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 hi, no, it just happens on start-up, no matter if there's a cd in or not. took it to dealer and all worked normally - typical lol. to be honest I can live with it, but as its my first brand new car, i'd prefer it to work properly, and i'm concerned that it may be the onset of other electrical issues. thanks for the suggestion though, cheers.

iantt Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Will see if I can find out anything about your concern, there must be a fix for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgo64 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 ok mate, thanks.i thought it might be a software issue but dealer said no? cars, nowt but trouble, lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 This is a known problem of the Focus MK3.5. Many peaople experienced this problem. Some time ago Ford communicated to customers that they were working on a fix (probably a software update) for this problem. However I do not know if this fix is already released or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
