How to Replace the Dashboard on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Dashboard

To protect any sensitive circuits, it is advisable to disconnect the connectors from the battery. Next, remove the screws securing the panel around the central display of your dashboard. This way, you can extract the panel by lifting it with a lever and disconnecting the connectors at the back. To complete the extraction, you will also need to remove the upper cover of the steering column. This allows you to remove the screws securing the panel with the speedometer. Again, disconnect the connectors at the back, and you're done!
