Tangerinemk3.5st3 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hi. Today I sat in my 2015 focus with the engine off and ignition off and noticed a noise and slight movement in the needles on the instrument cluster. All needles were dropping below 0 then moving back up a few minutes later. I presume this is not not normal behaviour. Any ideas what is causing this and what the cure is?

alexp999 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Software update might fix it. Best bet is to video it so you have proof and take it to a dealer for them to fix as it's still in warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerinemk3.5st3 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Will give that a go. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerinemk3.5st3 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just seems to happen for about 5 minutes after ignition is turned off. I hear the steering lock engage straight away then I presume the auto fan/cooling powering down. Then I witness the needles moving about. Could it be some sort of calibration it does automatically.

alexp999 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Could be normal, can't say I've ever noticed it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I've seen that happen in my 2011 MK3 Titanium. Never paid much attention to it really. Although, could be unrelated, but if i turn ignition on without starting engine, it immediately flashes up low battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Andy_M Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 My car is on the latest software due to the numerous times it's been back. The dials on mine seem to do a dance when the door is opened and just randomly when the engine is off. I'd say this was pretty normal, but bizarre all the same.
