Car Forum / Ford / Ford Focus / October 2007All instruments go to zero
I have a 2002 ford focus wagon. Recently while driving the car instruments will all go dead. The engine will continue running. Can someone please help. I replaced the battery. > I have a 2002 ford focus wagon. Recently while driving the car > instruments will all go dead. The engine will continue running. > Can someone please help. I replaced the battery. That happened to me yesterday! Engine stalled in traffic, restarted, then noticed that the spedo, rev counter and fuel gauge were at zero and the mileometer was not showing anything. Fortunately the engine still ran, the starter still worked and the traffic indicators too, so at least it's drivable. Could be expensive though!  SignatureChris Game Justify my text? I'm sorry but it has no excuse. >> I have a 2002 ford focus wagon. Recently while driving the car >> instruments will all go dead. The engine will continue running.

It is almost certainly the Vehicle Speed Sensor - very common issue on the focus. Easy enough to source and fit, or will set you back about £100 fitted in the UK. >> I have a 2002 ford focus wagon.

I removed the cluster(simple) and took the PC board off (simple). There are 2 electrolytic capacitors ( brown cylindrical cans ) that I replaced with similar ones from radio shack and I have not had any more issues with it. Far better than the $300 the dealer wanted. > >> I have a 2002 ford focus wagon. Recently while driving the car > >> instruments will all go dead. The engine will continue running.
