Radio fuse blows as soon as inserted SolvedSolved

Ford Focus 2012 Hatchback  179500 miles
My old radio wouldn’t work and the fuse would blow as soon as inserted, I installed a new radio and all the original wires looked fine, no visible short to ground, but it has to be a shorted out wire causing the fuse to immediately blow when power travels into it. Where could the shorted wire be? Any ideas where I should look? I’m having no luck at the moment and it’s late now so I can’t work on it any more tonight but 7 months without a radio is long enough and I’m ready to have music again. Thanks.

The problem wasn’t a shorted wire it was the new radio causing an overload which kept blowing the fuse. The way the manufacturer wired the new radio causes the fuse to blow, and the fuse stopped blowing when I hooked the old radio back up. The mess of wires they put into hooking up the new radio which was supposed to be plug and play is unbelievably complicated. They have wires split to multiple harnesses which some of their harnesses don’t have anything to hook up to in my car. The solution is to not hook up the new radio and send it back for a refund because there is no way to safely install it in my car and their installation instructions don’t have any actual installation instructions. Poor purchase choice.

Dome/map light keeps popping fuse

Ford Focus 2006 Hatchback 2.0 zx3 255000 miles
My dome/map lights keep popping a fuse. As soon as I replace it it pops. I know that there has to be a short somewhere. How would I go about finding it. I haven't made any repairs.it worked fine up until I removed the light assembly to replace the bulbs. I'm stumped on this one.

On the bigger fuses the green (30) should be where the yellow fuse puller is PER DIAGRAM
And it appears I’m missing a PCM diode Where the electrical tester stands. The fuses were like this when I bought the car do I need to move that 30 fuse is it going to mess with my system and what is a PCM diode or do I need to get one

Dashboard: no lights, no power- exterior lights all work and radio too

Ford Focus 2013 FOCUS SE Flexfuel  16000 miles
The blower on my heater started making a horrible racket this morning. Waaaaah. So I ran it at speed 1. Sometimes when I drive, if AM radio is on, there is a winding up sound that comes thru the radio! THEN this morning after driving around for most of the day, the dashboard just cut out. No warning. Just out. Radio works even if car is off. Interior lights, yes cool. Exterior lights brakes lights, hazards, all good. Found the fuse (mini5 amp - fuse socket 69). Pulled it out. Burned. Okay, fine, changed it. No change in issue. FINALLY: recently the battery light has come on for no reason… Read complete

I would ideally need to check the car over any coolant leak had to top it up at all ? Possibility coolant leaking behind dash from heater matrix could have got into the electrics and caused shorts. Could be a bad alternator running to much voltage. Could be faulty ecu if someone has done work on the vehicle which involved removing the window trim and wipers and didn’t refit correctly the tops of the engine (spark plug holes on petrols fill with water and corrode the engine. If water some how got into your ecu this would cause you symptomatic nightmares as this basically controls your vehicle. Check main wiring harnesses for damage remove and disconnect your dodgy fan inspect the wiring could be a real pain (dash removal) check dash cluster / clock and wiring behind them. If not mechanically smart find someone who is to check dude. If all wiring is ok and all relays are ok in relay plates ie not green / white corroded. Also check the big amp fuses 40-50-60 amp ones. If all ok check your alternator and battery maybe ford fitted you wrong one ? Ford won’t admit liability for out. , alternate option replace exhaust sell it and run lol

Hi I have a 2007 Ford escape i don't no how long i have had this issue it could have been like this when i brought it last year. The problem is the rear (tailgate) door and window are not locking only the other 4 doors lock with the remote we have tried most things but with no luck. Does this mean we have to buy a new locking system or is there anything more i should try first. I hope it is not expensive to replace the actuator as i dont have a lot of money as i am on a disability payment so i will try any suggestions that i can first. Kind regards Anthony

Double check your fuses AND their contacts. I lost everything on my Ford Focus 2013, but, the engine ran fine. A friend checked all the fuses, they were fine. Another, got under the dash and jiggled each fuse as he re-inserted it and everything came back on. Apparently one contact was a bit dirty.

Bruce from United States a year ago
The issue with your 2003 Ford Focus not starting can be caused by a few different things. Here are some common causes for this issue:

Battery: If the battery is weak, it may not have enough power to start the engine. Try jumping the battery or have it tested to see if it's the issue.
Starter Motor: The starter motor may be faulty and not engaging the flywheel to crank the engine. Have the starter motor tested.
Ignition Switch: The ignition switch could be faulty and not sending the proper signal to the starter motor to engage.
Fuel Pump: If the fuel pump is not functioning, the engine will not start. Check the fuel pump relay and fuel pump fuse to see if they are functioning properly.
Engine Control Module (ECM): If the Engine Control Module (ECM) is not functioning, it may prevent the engine from starting. Have the ECM checked.
Camshaft or Crankshaft Position Sensors: These sensors are responsible for telling the ECM the position of the engine and if they are not functioning, the engine may not start.

You searched for 'won't start, will get all instruments lights but no start, chhecked battery is ok, checked started is ok, checked all fuses are ok, can jump start by by passing with jumper wire in relay ( R 10 ) but won't move into gears, can turn off will then start and you can drive but once you turn off again and it sits for a little bit same thing happens no start.

No power to radio

Ford Focus 2013 1.6 D eco-something Estate  123456 miles
Ok I have the keyless MK3 Focus on a 62 plate (Fuse box looks like the 2014 layout) I know there are some timer controls that manage the radio. My first radio popped and crackled until it blew up due to some coins that had been inserted in the CD slot. The replacement had been fine until the timing belt lost too many teeth and took out the cam. Now I have no audio. The SYNC is still working, It will answer my calls (but no audio) the time is showing plus reverse camera all good on the display. But no power to the cd player. I have checked all fuses in 3 fuseboxes, swapped some relay… Read complete

Turns over once no start

Ford Focus 2003 Hatchback ZX3 237419 miles
The serpentine belt and that's what started everything. Then found out the tensioner was broken so replaced. Wouldn't start that's when we got a new starter. Now it won't even spin. Just clicks once and doesn't even try. Checked grounds, fuses and Relays. All good. Connections are solid also. Take starter back off and hook jumper wires up and it spins over perfect. Just not in the car. Took out spark plugs and tried to start it

I have replaced blown fuses, idle air control valve spark plus and power steering cap. I managed to get it to stop stalling but then I turned it off and went inside my house. When I came back out hourse later the battery was dead and it jump started but died again. The battery was taken to AutoZone and upon picking it up to take it in the store battery acid poured out all over me. Bad battery replaced and still doing it all over again.
