Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Instrument cluster

To remove the instrument cluster on a Ford Focus, start by removing the plastic trim around the instrument cluster (without breaking the plastic clips) and detach it from the dashboard. Next, remove the trim above the steering wheel and unscrew the securing screws of the instrument cluster with a screwdriver. After removing the screws, pull the unit out from the dashboard and disconnect the power cable. Install a new unit or replace the LEDs/bulbs in the cluster, then reassemble it.
