Ford Focus Dashboard Instrument Cluster - common fault

This Ford Focus instrument cluster is a very common failure, this will cause an intermittent failure of all instruments, lights and gauges.

If the instrument cluster fails while driving, then this will often cause the engine to cut out. If failure happens while attempting to start the vehicle then it will prevent the engine from starting. You will notice the immobilizer light flashes continuously when the instrument cluster fails and the mileage reading will only show dashes (-------) instead of the mileage.

Often the instrument cluster will fail completely and stay that way.

When faced with one or more of these symptoms the vehicle becomes difficult to drive due to not being able to read the instruments or the fault symptoms being too unpredictable. Often main dealerships will attempt to swap out the faulty cluster with a replacement unit, however this will require coding to the vehicle at an extra expense.

Our Ford Focus instrument cluster repair service will give you better value for money, takes 2-3 working days and comes with an unlimited mile lifetime warranty. Not only this but we also engineer-out the faults to ensure that they do not return.
