How to Replace the Dashboard Warning Light Bulbs on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Warning light – error code

Before starting the operation, disconnect the battery cables. Next, remove the steering wheel to work directly on the dashboard. To do this, slide it upwards and operate the lever on the right side of the steering wheel to unlock it and remove it from its position. Now, unscrew the three screws that secure the dashboard (located along the top edge) and, after disconnecting the power cables, slide the dashboard trim with the glass upwards to remove it. Now, unscrew the four screws that secure the dashboard itself and pull it out to work on the back. Disconnect the power supply by pressing the clip that holds the connector. At this point, you can replace the bulb corresponding to the warning light that is not illuminating.
