If the panel is constantly on like a garland, then with a high probability problem in solder cracks the main connector or legs of the microcontroller and soldering the contacts can solve this problem ... Such a malfunction is often found both on the first Focuses and on the Focus 2 before restyling. In any case, you need to disassemble the Ford Focus instrument panel in order to properly, under a magnifying glass , consider the board to identify microdefects ... So in order to try to repair, you must first remove the panel.
The Ford Focus 1 dashboard is fixed by an overlay, which is attached from above with 3 self-tapping screws for a Phillips screwdriver. The panel itself is still screwed on with four self-tapping screws. After removing the panel, we disassemble it (take out the backlight bulbs, remove the arrows, remove the board). As you can see in the video, in this case, the chaotic flickering of the dashboard bulbs also consisted in the detachment of the connector pins.
New dashboard price for Focus 2 will cost in the region of 35 thousand ... rubles, and if you give it to specialists, then repairs will cost at least 5,000 rubles. , but you can try to save money and repair the Ford Focus dashboard with your own hands.
How to do this and watch a visual video instruction in which the most common defect in the Focus device is considered.

Renovated today instrument panel Ford focus 2 with green display. Faulty instrument panel Ford Focus 2 manifests itself as follows: incorrect readings of the fuel level, tachometer, arrows twitch, the car stalls, the immobilizer lamp blinks, the engine does not start, when the ignition is turned on, dashes appear on the on-board computer, the backlight goes out, the on-board computer displays warnings acceleration reduced engine is faulty Automatic transmission is faulty, on Check Engine lamp.
In this case, the diagnostics revealed errors on the throttle valve, CAN bus malfunction, and an attempt at theft was registered. This is due to the fact that dashboard Ford Focus 2 is one of the main modules that is responsible for the operation of the immobilizer and the electronic gas pedal. If these problems are identified, the official dealer “sentences” the module to be replaced. But there is no point in changing the shield: a new part is very expensive, and a used one. the panel will most likely get the same defect + when replacing the shield, you must register the keys.
Over time, this malfunction appears on all Ford Focus 2 and C-Max cars from 2004 to 2011. The problem of these shields has been known to us for a long time, so we did not have any difficulties during the repair process. The recovery process is as follows:
1) We connect with a diagnostic scanner to the car to make sure that the instrument panel is really faulty. 2) dismantle the instrument panel from the car, disassemble and carefully examine it under a microscope. Having identified all the problems, we proceed to soldering the panel. It should be noted here that, unlike other masters, we solder not only main connector , but also the entire reverse side of the shield board, including Motorola processor . 3) After soldering the dashboard, we put everything back together and check the shield “on the table”. Then, we install the tidy back into the car and again diagnose all systems with the computer. Diagnostics and soldering the instrument panel Ford Focus 2 took 1 hour.
Dashboard repair cost on cars Ford Focus 2 3500 rubles. Panel repairs are guaranteed for 6 months. We repair all panels from 2004 to 2011: panels with a green, red display, etc. We work with all regions of Russia. Sending by mail of Russia or transport companies is possible.
- Removal and installation of the instrument panel 300 rubles.
- Adjustment of mileage Ford Focus 2 1500 rubles.

then educate on disassembling the panel. how laborious? Do you need to pull the arrows?
do not pull the arrows, but carefully remove 🙂
Arrows can be removed without problems. You put the arrow in its initial position (below zero there), put it at risk with a pencil, put a plastic card with a cutout under the arrow and pull it vertically upwards with a plastic assembly. If you twist, then the arrows will twitch (the gears are tender there).
Solder also: The stabilizer, resistors, both micros of the kana, the percent itself, the main thing is to look carefully through the microscope and not rush.

The need to remove the instrument panel (speedometer, tachometer, etc.) is quite rare. The reason may be the need to replace bulbs or soldering contacts, or, for example, when you need to replace one of the above devices. In this article I will try to tell and show you how to do it correctly and quickly, without harming the panel and the devices themselves.
Attention! To enlarge the photo - click on it!
1. Pull the steering wheel towards you as far as it will go.
2. Then pull the plastic decorative cover towards you, it is marked in the photo in red.
3. You will then have access to the panel fixing screws. To unscrew them we use the TORX T25 wrench.
4. Take a screwdriver and center it between the dashboard and the visor, all the way into the latch, then pull up to disengage the latch.
5. Pull the Ford Focus dashboard towards you, not strongly so as not to break anything. If it does not work, grasp the connector latch with your fingers and try again in the direction of the arrow.
6. Together with the rotation of the latch, the connector should come out of the mating part.
7. Now you can remove the glass. Unfasten the latches marked in red in the photo.
8. As a result, you will have two different parts, which can now be disassembled further.
9. Now you need to remove the arrows. In order for nothing to go astray and after assembly the devices showed exactly, take a pencil and mark it with the position of the arrow in the lowest position.
10. Remove the caps from the arrows, I have them silver.
11. Carefully remove the arrows so as not to break anything. To do this, use a wide knife, set it at the base and pry up the arrow.
13. Unfasten the rear cover from the panel.
14. Remove the card by bending the latches.
15. You can clean the on-board computer display, if necessary.
After carrying out the work necessary for you, you can assemble the Focus instrument panel, the assembly is carried out in the reverse order.
Well, now you know how to remove the Ford Focus 2 dashboard, and if necessary, you can do it yourself.
Today a Ford Focus 2 dorestyle came to us for repairs with an interesting problem. The owner complained that from time to time the car would not start, spontaneously deafened, while the check and ABS on the dashboard lit up. The car was immediately put on a diagnostic post and a scanner was connected. The test showed an error U0001, which means a failure on the CAN bus. This is a fairly common Ford Focus 2 malfunction, which is also found on restyled cars. The reason is the poor quality of soldering of the contacts of the instrument panel connector.
It was decided to disassemble and repair the dashboard rather than buying a new one. We unscrew the two screws securing the Torx 25 of the instrument panel and, releasing the two latches, remove the panel from the dashboard. Disconnect the connector on the other side and take out the protective shield. Carefully remove the arrows, as you can easily damage the instrument scale. Next, we remove the scales themselves and take out the printed circuit board.
We carefully examine the board under a magnifying glass or microscope. We pay special attention to the quality of soldering contacts located in 2 rows (16 in each). Erosion and cracks in the solder are the cause of the floating fault. Using a hot air gun and a soldering iron, we qualitatively solder all connections. We check the results of the work and assemble the instrument panel in the reverse order. After the repair, the dashboard came to life and works like new. The owner of the car was very pleased as the new dashboard costs a lot of money.
Any car has a dashboard that allows the driver to know about the state of components, assemblies and electrical devices connected to the on-board network. The dashboard of Ford Focus 2 cars is no exception. In this article, we will tell you about the control panel designations, as well as its replacement, if necessary.
The designations of the control panel elements on the Ford Focus
Above is the Ford Focus 1 (one) or II (two) instrument cluster.
In accordance with it, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the designations of the device:
Control panel of the car Ford Focus 3
Repair of the dashboard in Ford Focus 1 or 2, in practice, does not happen so often. As a rule, the removal of the Ford Focus 2 or 1 instrument panel and the replacement of the device as a whole is carried out either when the tachometer and speedometer need to be repaired, or when the dashboard is completely out of order. In addition, the dashboard Ford Focus 2 restyling is also dismantled to replace bulbs in case of burnout of the latter. To complete this process, you only need a screwdriver and a T25 star wrench. In the video below, you can familiarize yourself with the repair of the control panel using the example of a Ford Fusion car (video by Volodymyr Zagryvyi / Vladimir Zagryvyi).
To repair the instrument panel in the first or second Focus, first of all, you need to pull the steering wheel to the limit towards you. After that, pull the plastic front cover of the torpedo under the control panel towards you.
By doing this, you will gain access to the control plate fixing bolts. Use a pre-prepared sprocket wrench to loosen these bolts.
Next, you need to take a screwdriver and place it in the middle between the control panel and the visor, milking the very stop in the latch. Then pull upwards so that the latch can be disengaged.
The instrument panel of Ford Focus 3 or any other model needs to be pulled towards you, but only without extra effort, so as not to damage the device. If you cannot pull the shield out, try grasping the connector latch with your fingers and pulling it towards you. When you rotate the latch, the connector should pop out without issue.
After that, you can dismantle the glasses. To do this, you will need to unfasten the clips. In the end, you will have two different parts on hand, you can proceed to their further analysis.
Next, you can dismantle the arrows.In order not to confuse the configuration of the control panel and after assembly all devices worked correctly, using a pencil or marker, fix the corresponding position of the arrows at the lowest position. After that, on the arrows, you can dismantle the caps, in this case they are silver, but the color may differ depending on the vehicle model.
Carefully, without much effort, dismantle the arrows so as not to break. For dismantling, you can use a clerical knife, it must be placed at the base, after which the arrow can be pry up.
Remove the scales from the tidy, then disconnect the rear cover from the control panel.
Now you can remove the board itself by first bending the latches. If the problem lies in the work of the board itself, then it is necessary to solder it. In order for the device to work normally in the future, it is better to entrust the soldering procedure to professionals. If the on-board computer screen is dirty, you need to clean it. When all the repair steps are completed, the device is assembled in the reverse order.
The request returned an empty result.
As you can see, in general, the process of removing and repairing the dashboard at Ford Focuses is not particularly difficult. You can easily change the light bulbs in case of burnout of the latter or tune the control panel by installing new instrument scales. But if the repair of the device consists in soldering, it is still better to entrust this procedure to a qualified electrician, in particular, if you have never faced such a task.
Sorry, there are currently no polls available.
A clear instruction on how to remove the control panel on the Ford Focus is presented in the video below (video by Artur Sargsyan).
Soldering the dashboard Ford Focus 2 is quite a piece of jewelry and not everyone can do it. At the same time, on pre-styling cars, poor soldering can confidently be called a sore spot, and on many cars the panel needs to be re-soldered over time.
On the faulty dashboard, the arrows of the speedometer or tachometer may not work, errors may light up when the components and assemblies of the car are in good condition, the lights may flash or not light up. All these symptoms most likely indicate the need to solder the front panel.
If there are cracks in the contacts of the main connector or the microcontroller, the panel, on the panel, extra lights are likely to burn or it will blink.
It is logical that before soldering the dashboard, it must be removed from the car. This is not difficult to do - you need a screwdriver, a socket wrench and accuracy. You do not need to remove the steering wheel to remove the panel. It is only necessary to perform the following manipulations:
Pull the steering wheel towards you as much as possible.
Remove the plastic cover under the dash to gain access to the mount.
Unscrew the fastening screws located under the cover.
Slide a screwdriver over the top center of the panel to release the latch.
Pull the panel towards you.
Disconnect the wiring connector from the panel.
Unfasten the fasteners and detach the panel from the glass part.
Before proceeding with the soldering, it is necessary to disassemble the dashboard in order to pull out the board itself, which we will be soldering.
We mark the lower extreme position of the arrows for their subsequent correct installation.
Pry off with a screwdriver and remove the arrows.
We squeeze the latches and remove the back cover.
We take out the board.
If you decide to solder the panel of your American yourself and have carefully studied the video of this process, it will be difficult to add something. The panel is soldered with a soldering iron. Add some solder when soldering the pins to the terminal block.
After completing the work, reassemble the panel in the reverse order and install it on the vehicle. If necessary, you can clean the inside of the computer screen and glass.
Dashboard repair can be quite varied, but its main type is soldering. The price of this service is about 4000 rubles.It should be noted that the high price is justified, since the work is considered quite painstaking.
For a long time I wrote about how to overexpose the Focus 2 instrument panel. After that, readers repeatedly asked me to describe the process of removing and disassembling it. So I found the time and once again disassembled and assembled everything. 🙂
Dashboard Ford Focus 2
All photos are clickable (large format).
To remove and install the panel, you will need: a TORX T25 wrench (photo 1), any medium screwdriver, a wide knife and a pencil.
Before removing the instrument panel, lower it all the way and pull the steering wheel towards ourselves to the end.
We pull on the detail marked in red. (photo 2, photo 3)

Under the plastic are hidden screws that secure the panel. We turn them off with the TORX T25 key (photo 4).
Photo 4. Removing the instrument panel Ford Focus 2
To remove the panel, insert the screwdriver exactly in the center between the tidy and the visor (photo 5) until it rests against the latch (photo 8, marked in green), and pull it up until the latch disengages. We pull the instrument panel towards ourselves.
Photo 5. Removing the instrument panel Ford Focus 2
We do not pull the panel especially hard. It is still held by the connector. We grasp the connector latch with our fingers and pull, as the arrow shows (photo 6).
Photo 6. Removing the instrument panel Ford Focus 2
Simultaneously with the rotation of the latch, the connector comes out of the mating part (photo 7). The panel is free.

Further, turning all the arrows counterclockwise to the stop, mark their position with a pencil (photo 11).
Photo 11. Dismantling the instrument panel Ford Focus 2
Now we remove the silver caps from all the arrows (if the arrow is removed entirely, then there is nothing to worry about). Be careful to shoot the arrows themselves. They may break. I held the arrow at the base and pulled it up, and on the other side I pried it with a wide knife (photo 12).
Photo 12. Dismantling the instrument panel Ford Focus 2
Now we remove the film with scales (photo 13).

We take out the board by bending the last latches (photo 16).
Photo 16. Dismantling the instrument panel Ford Focus 2
I also advise you to clean the on-board computer display. Over time, the reverse side of the display is covered with a layer of dust and its illumination becomes uneven (photo 17).
Photo 17. Dismantling the instrument panel Ford Focus 2
The assembly of the instrument panel is carried out in the reverse order.
The hands must first be assembled by placing the silver caps on them, and then they can be put in place.
Do not push the arrows too hard, otherwise they may rub against the panel and display the data incorrectly.
With correct installation, when turning the arrows counterclockwise, they should rest against the marks set earlier (photo 11).
Hello . Our hands are not for boredom! :-)) I'm too lazy to disassemble half a torpedo because of 1 light bulb. Did you put diode lamps in the lanterns? And my traction began to slip and this is 77,000 km, popandos 15,000! And yet a mechanic is better than a tin! 2-3 emergency emergency braking, I suspect that the springs broke. And the Stickers are cool. Thanks to Grandfather and Granny for EVERYTHING! MA
Solder call 89060324198
I soldered PANELPRIBOROV.RF from them
The bulk of diode lamps are govs. There are constant voltage surges in the car, so diode lamps without stabilization burn quickly. I put white diode bulbs only on the backlight of the room. I advise Valeo to put the hitch.
The arrows must be removed without a knife, otherwise you can break everything. Just twist it counterclockwise and pull it up.
Probably it is possible and so, but several times I took off with a knife and everything was normal.
Hello, do not tell me, such a question - the speedometer arrow falls to 0 while driving and can lie down for 2-3 minutes and rise again, or it can lie down tightly and only a new start of the engine brings it to life and the information on the display may still disappear where the temperature is, mileage, etc. I thought about the speed sensor and condensate in it, but they say everything is hermetically sealed, did I get a new tidy? Thank you
I had this when the speed sensor flew.
How can I change the backlight? What, and where, should you put the light bulbs? I would like to change from green to white. Thanks!
Duc in the beginning there is a link to a post about light bulbs.
removed the arrows soldered the diode began to assemble back there was a problem with the arrows when the ignition is turned on, first move back and crack and then fall into place. what to do.
tell me how to install it correctly. thanks in advance.
To the place - this is where? Did you put the marks when removing the arrows? If you live not very far from Preobrazhenka in Moscow, then drive up. I will help.
I changed everything very well ... After installing the arrows, we jumped a little, but right now everything is fine ... I would also like to find out how to light up the standard 6000CD radio tape recorder
The radio tape recorder did not overexpose, I do not know.
need a dashboard focus 2 2006 in 89267760685
Thanks! Error U0001, soldered contacts. This report with pictures was very helpful. Let's go further)
I disassembled the instrument panel, gave an LCD display, tell good people where to get I live in Kuzbass
I have the same trouble did not recognize where can I get the LCD display?
Thanks a lot. If I hadn't come across your manual ... in short, everything would have been very bad))
Thank you for the article! Helped to disassemble and assemble without harm, soldered the instrument panel connectors.
SOLDERING FORD INSTRUMENT PANEL
Hello. you wrote that you re-solder the tidy. tell me how much it costs and where you are. I would also like to know if you are taking off the tidy or you need to carry the already removed one. Thank you
People, I live outside the Moscow Ring Road in Odintsovo, the problem with ff2 is at my mother's, the engine's error is reduced; I can't vaasche)))) and what is the price of the issue.
If you haven't soldered, then come to Novoperedelkino 89653584001
Good time, tell me how to be and what to do, the odometer screen went out where the mileage is shown at the bottom is small (ff2 full set, station wagon, 1.6, automatic transmission, 2006, pre-reystaling) You can somehow revive it or search for the whole another dashboard? And if you put another dashboard of the same kind, then what should you do with it and how? I read about the key firmware when changing the panel, but they write about changing dorestaling to reystaling, so when changing dorest to dorest, you also need to do some kind of manipulation with the key firmware, or everything will stand up like a native and will work. Thanks in advance. I apologize if something is wrong or wrote in the wrong place, I'm new to the forum and bought a Ford on November 22. Thank you for your understanding, if something goes wrong, direct it in the right direction. Sincerely, Alexander.
Another dashboard requires flashing keys. The backlight of the screen went out or went out completely?
These are panels with chrome dials and red displays.
I welcome everyone, they often began to address problems on these panels, symptoms:
-The car may stall on the move
-the panel lights up like a tree
- pops up a message about the decrease in engine speed.
There is an assumption that the link to the panel is broken.
Well, in fact, the diagnostics says that the connection with the panel is broken.
How to deal with this, if there is a method of cure - please share in a personal.
like all magic tricks, nothing new
About the loss of the connector and around it - this is understandable, but it does not work in 90% with restyled devices.
About the loss of the connector and around it - this is understandable, but it does not work in 90% with restyled devices.
Prots, and a plug, 8 pieces done, there were no problems. Everything is working.A couple of them, under supervision for over a year, no problem.
We plug all the power elements on the board - it goes without saying, warm up and solder the percent - too, but it does not always help.
not one has returned yet, the most important thing
I met when the paths were rotting. find problematic but real.
only she shouldn't go deaf
In restyles, it's not a problem with the panel at all. No need to tell fables 🙂
there is, just yet less often, they will be newer.
And restyled repaired not only magic tricks, but also Mondeo. Either a connector, or percent, or both. Today they should bring a panel from the Land Rover with the same symptoms.
only she shouldn't go deaf
Does not stall, on the tidy (engine is faulty), does not gain momentum. Everything happens in motion. Ignition off, on, maybe not the first time, went. Then it becomes more and more often. Further tidying, treatment was never required. Restyling, the same sore.
We carry out work to replace the instrument panel, panel wiring harness and elements of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. Disconnect the terminal of the wire from the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the steering wheel (see "Removing the steering wheel"). Remove the upper and lower steering column covers ("Removing the steering column"). Remove the steering column switches and the connector (see "Removing the steering column switches, spiral cable drum device and switch connector").
