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

How do you remove the dashboard from a Ford Focus? Let's carefully see how to proceed with the disassembly in this video. Use a socket wrench to undo the securing screws of the side and lower trim of the steering wheel. Next, remove the airbag by undoing the screws present. Once the airbag is removed, take out the central anchoring pin and remove the steering wheel. Disassemble the central plastic tunnel, then undo the glove compartment located in the dashboard (disconnect various terminals), and remove the radio from the dashboard along with the attached plastics. Use a screwdriver to undo the dashboard (securing pins at the bottom) along with the air vents. Finally, carefully remove the dashboard from the vehicle body, taking care not to damage the side trim.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
