dstroi Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 hi all I've had my 2007 Focus for just about a month now and I've just noticed there's not a "ticking" noise when the indicators are flashing.Has this been switched off somehow and can i switch it back on again?. What other alarm chimes can be switched on/off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Have you tried letting the car idle and flick the indicator on, mine are quiet but while going at speed you can't hear them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David990 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Pretty sure you can turn the ticking noise on and off from the vehicle settings. Might be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstroi Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 where can i access the vehicle settings? the stalk on the steering wheel? i've changed the setting to chime on but hasn't done anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The chimes and indicator tick come from the PCB in the instrument cluster. If the ticking has suddenly stopped then there is a cluster fault, it can't be turned on and off. Sent from my SM-G930F 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 not sure I can be bothered but a louder tick and a brighter blub would be some welcome modifications The black Mondeo cluster is slightly better, not any louder but the black cluster allows the green indicator arrow to stand out more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G930F Everything on the instrument cluster seems to be working, anything i should look out for? would a fault code reader show the fault?

JW1982 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 This is a quite common problem of the Focus MK2 instrument cluster. All warning and indicator sounds are transmitted by a small speaker which is located at the back of the instrument cluster. This is a small SMD speaker that is directly soldered onto the circuit board. The problem can be caused by either a defective speaker or the speaker no longer being controlled by the instrument cluster. If the speaker is defective it can easily be solved by soldering a replacement speaker onto the circuit board. A suitable replacement speaker can easily be found at an electronic component shop. In case the speaker is no longer controlled by the instrument cluster the cluster must be replaced or repaired to solve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
