Do-it-yourself ford focus 2 instrument panel repair

In detail: do-it-yourself Ford Focus 2 instrument panel repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Now let's go through the step by step instructions
On one of the usual weekday mornings, as an alarm, and a little later, it started and the engine also had all the temperature in the working area, it was warm in the cabin, and drove off.

Driving home; began to show a malfunction of the engine, drove to the nearest electrician by car, and he checked on the onboard stand and came to the conclusion that it was necessary to change the instrument panel, or repair it.

The second is the monitor contacts. When assembling the case and the board, the monitor contacts (which are on the case) must exactly fall into the sockets on the board. In my case, they bent, the monitors did not work, the car would not start.

I had to remove the monitors from the case, insert the case, and only then insert the monitors by directing their contacts into the sockets. That's it.
Next up is soldering. After disassembly with a magnifying glass, you can see cracks in the factory.

However, after a couple of days she is healthy again, and now I tried to check how this acceleration is reduced if the engine runs just as smoothly without failures and extraneous sounds - and indeed the car does not drive at all.

Now I realized that somewhere it closes, then something needs to be solved with it, this will not work. I started looking for similar problems on the profile forum. It turned out that such a disease is present in many Owners.

The fact is that the factory seems to have simply regretted the amount of solder when assembling the dashboard board. there is a lot of information that such a problem is not difficult to fix, so I decided.

Tidy I had a chance to disassemble yet what was there. Whatever it is, she led us astray according to the information given on the cause of the engine malfunction

Video (click to play).

First; what to pay attention to! When the panel shows acceleration is reduced

Ford dashboard! Shows a malfunction, repair is required, but first you need to find the cause,

Got out U0140, U1900, U1900. Ster. checking with a scanner

For such a seemingly simple and ordinary operation as the repair of the Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) instrument cluster, the famous expression “whatever you call a ship, so it will sail” is very appropriate. Here, as in all tricks, it is full of secrets and conjectures, and as practice has shown, in order to dispel them, a separate topic of conversation is required.

First, diagnostics: if your car gave the following errors during computer diagnostics, then there is a reason to think about repairing the dashboard. The following will be a list of OBDII error codes (DTC) most often seen with a faulty Ford Focus 2 dashboard (Ford Focus2) (ll) (II)

P0607 - Control Module Performance
U0155 - Missing CAN message from Instrument panel.
U0001 - High Speed CAN Communication Bus (CAN data bus, high speed)
U0140 - Lost Communication With Body Control Module
U1900 - CAN COMMUNICATION BUS FAULT ABS
U1900 - CAN communication bus Fault instrument cluster
U2021 - Communication Bus Error
P1260 - Theft Detected - Vehicle Immobilized Indicates that the passive anti-theft system (PATS) has determined a theft condition existed and the engine is disabled. (Attempted hijacking. Start blocked.)
P1585 Throttle Control Unit Malfunction
P2101 - Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit Range/Performance
P2107 - Throttle Actuator Control Module Processor
P2110 - Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited RPM

The remaining 30% are already serious and accurate measurements and work. One of these is the soldering of the central processor (the photo below shows the master checking his work on soldering the central processor of the Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) dashboard by translucent instrument cluster.

It is advisable to trust this procedure to a professional. Firstly, it is desirable to have equipment of a professional level, but an amateur cannot afford it. And secondly, a certain technical process is required for reliable troubleshooting.Well, experience in elimination is never superfluous, but where does an amateur get it from? But if you want to take a chance ... Another feature of such a smart Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) instrument panel is the performance of the role of a gateway-CAN dashboard Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) receives signals from two "CAN low" lines at once ” and “CAN hi” and also receives in analog form, and transmits in digital form information from the “gas” accelerator pedal, it is “CAN-bus” on the Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) instrument cluster, and even though the restoration of “CAN- tires "dashboard Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) is not such a tricky job, but it's impossible to check its performance without proper equipment.

The video below shows the technical process, where the master checks the correctness of the indications of the arrows and, if necessary, calibrates the arrows. The procedure is necessary for the complete disassembly and assembly of the Ford Focus 2(ll) (II) instrument cluster. The video shows the calibration of the arrows of the restyled dashboard Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II). No matter what kind of dashboard you have, it is very important to set the instrument arrows correctly. The most important sensor, especially for those who like to drive on an empty tank, is the fuel gauge. Often, such car owners leave 0.5 liters of fuel in the tank, but imagine if your arrow is deceiving you: once, you didn’t get to the gas station! Less important, but also sometimes hitting the pocket, is the speedometer. Especially analog: if the arrow is not right, he is lying in progression. Of course, this does not threaten the Ford focus2 shield, but still, if it can lie up to 5 km, and with a camera on the road, this can be a fine. Our workshop has already been contacted specifically for the correct calibration of the sensor after a poor-quality repair on the knees in roadside services.

then enlighten by disassembling the panel.
how labor intensive? do you have to move the arrows?

do not pull the arrows, but carefully remove 🙂

Arrows are removed without problems. You put the arrow in its initial position (below zero there), put a risk with a pencil, put a plastic card with a cutout under the arrow and pull the plastic pry bar vertically upwards. If you twist, then the arrows will twitch (the gears are tender there).

Solder also:
Stabilizer, resistors, both micro-channels, the percent itself, the main thing is to look carefully into 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 light bulbs or solder contacts, or, for example, when you need to replace one of the above devices. In this article I will try to tell and show how to do it correctly and quickly, without harm to 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 red in the photo.

3. After that, you will have access to the panel mounting screws. To unscrew them, use the TORX T25 key.

4. Take a screwdriver and center it between the dashboard and visor, until it stops against the latch, then pull up to disengage the latch.

5. Pull the Ford Focus instrument panel towards you, not hard so as not to break anything. If it does not go, grab the connector latch with your fingers and try again in the direction of the arrow.

6. As the latch is turned, 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 get 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 instruments showed exactly, take a pencil and mark with it the position of the arrow in the lowest position.

10. Remove the caps from the arrows, I have them in silver.

11. With gentle movements, so as not to break anything, remove the arrows. To do this, use a wide knife, set it at the base and pry up the arrow.

13. Unfasten the back cover from the panel.

14. Remove the board by prying out the latches.

15. You can clean the on-board computer display if necessary.

After carrying out the work you need, you can assemble the Focus dashboard, assembly is done 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 stalled, while the “check” and ABS lights up on the dashboard. The car was immediately put on the diagnostic post and connected to the scanner. The check showed 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 the soldering of the contacts of the instrument panel connector.

The decision was made to disassemble and repair the dashboard rather than buy a new one. We unscrew the two Torx 25 fastening screws of the instrument panel and, having released the two latches, remove the panel from the dashboard. Disconnect the connector on the opposite side and remove the protective screen. Carefully remove the arrows, as it is easy to damage the instrument scale. Next, 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 a floating fault. Using a hot air gun and a soldering iron, we solder all the connections with high quality. 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 shield costs a lot of money.

Any car has a dashboard that allows the driver to know about the status of components, assemblies and electrical appliances connected to the on-board network. The instrument panel of Ford Focus 2 cars is no exception. In this article, we will talk about the designations of the control panel, as well as replacing it if necessary.

Designations of the elements of the control panel on the Ford Focus

Above is the instrument panel Ford Focus 1 (one) or II (two).

In accordance with it, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the designations of the tidy:

Ford Focus 3 dashboard

Dashboard repair in Ford Focus 1 or 2 does not happen so often in practice. As a rule, removing the Ford Focus 2 or 1 instrument panel and replacing the instrument as a whole is carried out either if the tachometer and speedometer need to be repaired, or if the instrument panel is completely out of order. In addition, the Ford Focus 2 restyled dashboard is also dismantled to replace light bulbs in case the latter burn out. All you need to complete this process is a screwdriver and a T25 torx wrench. In the video below, you can see the repair of the control panel using the example of a Ford Fusion car (the author of the video is Volodymyr Zagryvyi / Vladimir Zagryvyi).

To repair the instrument panel on the first or second Focus, first of all, you need to pull the steering wheel towards you to the limit. After that, pull the plastic facing cover of the torpedo under the control panel towards you.
By doing this, you will have access to the control panel fixing bolts. To unscrew these bolts, use a pre-prepared asterisk wrench.
Next, you need to take a screwdriver and put it in the middle between the control panel and the visor, until it stops at the latch. After that, pull up - so the latch can disengage.
The dashboard of the 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 remove the shield, try to grab the connector latch with your fingers and pull it towards you. When you turn the latch, the connector should come out without problems.
After that, you can dismantle the glass. To do this, you will need to unfasten the latches. In the end, you will have two different parts in your hands, you can proceed to their further analysis.
Next, you can dismantle the arrows.In order not to knock down the configuration of the control panel and after assembly all the devices worked correctly, use a pencil or marker to fix the corresponding position of the arrows in the lowest position. After that, the shooter can remove 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.
Dismantle 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 operation of the board, 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 steps to repair the tidy 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 on a Ford Focus is not particularly complicated. Without problems, you can 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 encountered such a task.

Sorry, there are currently no surveys available.

A visual instruction for removing the control panel on the Ford Focus is presented in the video below (the author of the video is Arthur Sargsyan).

Soldering the Ford Focus 2 dashboard is quite a jewelery business and not everyone can do it. At the same time, on pre-styling cars, poor soldering can definitely be called a sore spot, and on many cars the panel needs to be re-soldered over time.

On a faulty dashboard, the arrows of the speedometer or tachometer may not work, errors may light up with serviceable components and assemblies of the car, 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 panel, the panel will probably have extra lights on or it will blink.

It is logical that before soldering the dashboard, it must be removed from the car. This is easy to do - you need a screwdriver, a socket wrench and accuracy. It is not necessary 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 far as possible.
Remove the plastic plug under the dashboard to access the mount.
Unscrew the fastening bolts located under the plug.
Insert a screwdriver up above the panel, in the center, to unfasten the latch.
Pull the panel towards you.
Disconnect the wire connector from the panel.
Release the fasteners and detach the panel from the glass part.

Before proceeding with soldering, it is necessary to disassemble the dashboard in order to pull out the board itself, which we will solder.

We mark the lower extreme position of the arrows for their subsequent correct installation.
We pry off with a screwdriver and remove the arrows.
We press the latches and remove the back cover.
We take out the fee.

If you decide to solder the panel of your American yourself and carefully studied the video of this process, it will be difficult to add something. The panel is soldered with a soldering iron. When soldering the contacts going to the wire block, add a little solder.

After completing the work, assemble the panel in the reverse order and install it on the car. If necessary, you can clean the computer screen and glass from the inside.

Dashboard repair can be quite varied, but soldering is still its main type. 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 relight the Focus 2 instrument panel. After that, readers repeatedly asked to describe the process of removing and disassembling it. I took the time to take everything apart and put it back together. 🙂

Dashboard Ford Focus 2

All photos are clickable (large format).

To remove and install the panel, you will need: a TORX T25 key (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 you to the end.

We pull on the part marked in red. (photo 2, photo 3)

Hidden under the plastic are the screws that secure the panel. We turn them off with a TORX T25 key (photo 4).

Photo 4. Removing the instrument panel Ford Focus 2

To remove the panel, insert a screwdriver strictly in the center between the tidy and the visor (photo 5) until it hits the latch (photo 8, marked in green), and pull up until the latch disengages. Pull the instrument panel towards you.

Photo 5. Removing the instrument panel Ford Focus 2

We do not pull the panel especially hard. It is still held by a connector. We cling to 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 turn of the latch, the connector comes out of the mating part (photo 7). The panel is free.

Next, turning all the arrows counterclockwise as far as it will go, 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). Carefully remove the arrows themselves. They can break. I held the arrow at the base and pulled up, and on the other hand pry with a wide knife (photo 12).

Photo 12. Dismantling the instrument panel Ford Focus 2

Now we remove the film with scales (photo 13).

Photo 13. Dismantling the instrument panel Ford Focus 2

We unfasten the back cover from the panel (photo 14, photo 15)

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 scoreboard becomes covered with a layer of dust and its illumination becomes uneven (photo 17).

Photo 17. Dismantling the instrument panel Ford Focus 2

The instrument panel is assembled in the reverse order.

The arrows must first be assembled by placing silver caps on them, and then they can be put in place.

Do not apply too much pressure on the arrows, otherwise they may rub against the panel and display data incorrectly.

When installed correctly, 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 the floor of the torpedo because of 1 light bulb. Did you put LED bulbs in the headlights? And my clutch began to slip, and this is at 77,000 km, popandos at 15,000! Still, mechanics are better than tin cans! 2-3 emergency emergency braking, I suspect that the springs broke.
And the stickers are awesome.
Thank you Grandpa and Grandma for EVERYTHING!

Solder call 89060324198

I soldered them PANELPRIBOROV.RF

The bulk of the diode lamps - gov. There are constant power surges in the car, so diode lamps without stabilization burn quickly. I put white diode bulbs only to illuminate the numbers.
I advise you to put the Valeo on the clutch.

Arrows must be removed without a knife, otherwise you can break everything. Just twist it counterclockwise and pull it up.

It’s probably possible that way, but I took it off with a knife several times and everything is normal.

Hello, don’t tell me, such a question - the speedometer needle drops 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 scoreboard where the temperature can still be lost, mileage, etc. I thought it was a speed sensor and condensate in it, but they say everything is airtight, did it really get a new tidy? Thank you

It happened to me when the speed sensor went out.

How to change the backlight naturally? What kind and where should light bulbs be placed? I want to change from green to white. Thanks!

So at 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 when the ignition was turned on, the arrows first move back and crack and then fall into place. what to do.

tell me how to install correctly. thanks in advance.

In place - where is it? Did you mark when removing the arrows? If you live not very far from Preobrazhenka in Moscow, then roll up. I'll help.

Everything changed very well turned out ... After installing the arrows jumped a little, but right now everything is normal ... I would also like to know how to overexposure the head unit 6000CD

The radio did not overexpose, I do not know.

need dashboard focus 2 2006 89267760685

Thanks! Error U0001, soldered contacts. This report with photos helped a lot. Let's move on)

I dismantled the instrument panel, gave a LCD display, tell me good people where to get I live in Kuzbass

I have the same trouble did not find out where you can get the LCD display?

Thanks a lot.
If I hadn’t stumbled upon your manual ... in short, everything would have been very bad))

Thank you for the article! She helped disassemble and assemble without harm, soldered the instrument panel connectors.

FORD DASHBOARD SOLDERING

Hello. you wrote that soldering tidy. tell me how much it costs and where you are. I would also like to know if you take off the tidy or do you need to carry the already removed one. Thank you

People, I live outside the Moscow Ring Road in Odintsovo, the mother has a problem with ff2, writes an engine error, acceleration is reduced, as I understand it, you need to solder the contacts on the instrument panel, either on the board, or on the connector, who can help with this, because how to solder I don’t know how to do it)))) and what is the price of the issue.

If you haven’t soldered it, then come to Novoperedelkino 89653584001

Good time, tell me how to be and what to do, the screen of the odometer went out where the mileage at the bottom is shown as small (ff2 full set, station wagon, 1.6, automatic transmission, 2006 onwards, doreystaling) You can somehow revive it, fix it or search for it entirely another dashboard? And if you put another same instrument panel, then what should be done with it and how? I read about flashing keys when changing the panel, but they write about changing dorestaling to restaling, and with changing dorest to dorest, you also need to do some manipulations with key flashing, or everything will fall like native and will work. Thanks in advance. I apologize if something is wrong or I wrote in the wrong place, I'm new to the forum and I bought a Ford on November 22. Thank you for your understanding, if something is wrong, point me in the right direction. Sincerely, Alexander.

Another instrument panel requires key flashing. Did the backlight go out on the screen or did it go out completely?

These are panels with chrome scales and red displays.

Greetings to all, they often began to deal with problems on these panels, the symptoms are:

- The car may stall while driving

- the panel lights up like a Christmas tree

- pops up a message about reducing the speed of the engine.

There is an assumption that the connection with the panel is broken.

Well, actually, the diagnostics writes that the connection with the panel is broken.

How to deal with this, if there is a cure - please share in a personal.

like all tricks, nothing new

About the gap of the connector and around it - this is understandable, but it does not work in 90% with restyled tidy.

Prots, and plug, 8 pieces done, there were no problems. Everything is working.A couple of pieces, for more than a year under supervision, no problem.

We will disconnect and all the power elements on the board - this is by itself, warming up and soldering the percent is also, but it does not always help.

not one has returned yet, the most important thing is

met when the tracks rotted. hard to find but real.

she just shouldn't be dumb

In restyling, there is no problem with the panel at all. No need to tell fables 🙂

there is, just still less often, they will be newer.

And restyled repaired and not only tricks, but also Mondeo. Either a connector, or a percent, or both. Today they should drag the panel from the Land Rover with the same symptoms.

she just shouldn't be dumb

It does not stall, on the tidy (the engine is faulty), it does not gain momentum. Everything happens in motion. Ignition off, on, maybe not the first time, I went. Then it becomes more and more frequent. Further tidy, 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 wire terminal from the "negative" terminal of the battery.
Remove the steering wheel (see "Removing the steering wheel").

Through the opening formed after removing the side trim of the instrument panel, we remove the right air duct in the same way as the central ones.
Remove the left duct in the same way.

Disconnect the wiring harness pads from the center console switch panel and remove it complete with switches.

Using the opening in the instrument panel, formed after removing the head unit of the sound reproduction system, we squeeze the latches of the alarm switch and remove it from the hole in the instrument panel.
By pressing the latch, we disconnect the block of the wiring harness from the alarm switch, after which we push the block together with the wiring harness through the hole back into the instrument panel.

We remove the cover from the electrical outlet in the niche of the center console.

Using a thin-bladed screwdriver, press the socket diffuser latch ...

... and, having removed the metal case from the diffuser socket, we disconnect the wire block from it.

Having taken out the diffuser of the socket, we disconnect the block of wires of the backlight lamp from it.
