Stalls and chokes SolvedSolved

Ford Focus 2000  50000 miles
After 40 seconds of being stopped at a stoplight, the car starts choking and jerking. What is more, some mornings when I wait for the car to heat up a bit, the same occurs and the engine stops. It's been three months since a full service has been made.

You can try scanning the car to see whether it is some sensor problem or not.

Solved, thank to you tube. There was a harness connector that I had undone for access to something else that I apparently didn't reconnect properly properly. Re-did the connection and every issue resolved itself. Oh Happy Day.

There are several potential causes for the fog lamps not turning off in your Ford Focus. Here are a few potential solutions you can try:

Check the fog lamp switch: If the switch is stuck in the "on" position, this could be causing the fog lamps to stay on. Try turning the switch off and see if the lamps turn off.
Check the fog lamp relay: The fog lamp relay could be faulty and causing the lamps to stay on. You can check the relay by swapping it with a known good one and seeing if the problem persists.
Check the wiring: There could be a problem with the wiring that is causing the fog lamps to stay on. Inspect the wiring and look for any signs of damage or wear.
Check the body control module: The body control module could be faulty and causing the fog lamps to stay on. You may need to have it checked and potentially replaced by a professional.

Potential electrical fault?

Ford Focus 2005  195000 miles
I’ve got a bit of a strange issue going on with my car. It’s a ford focus 05. Whilst driving the handbrake light came on, then I noticed the electric windows and indicators weren’t working. The rear windscreen wiper kept turning itself on. The windows now seem to have come back on, and the indicators are now barely flashing but they’re not showing on the dash. The electric locking system is now also not working.

Does anyone have any ideas with what’s going on here?

Auto leveling headlight

Ford Focus 2008 st3 facelift 70000 miles
Today my headlights have decided to stop going through their full range of motion on start, they just move a minimal amount up now which results in only having the first 10 feet of road properly illuminated. They are factory fit projector type HID headlights.
