Video tutorial

The following video shows how to dismantle the instrument cluster of the Ford Focus. The tools needed for this operation are: a Phillips screwdriver and a flathead screwdriver.

First, remove the three screws located at the top of the dashboard frame. Use a plastic spatula to lift the frame, detaching it from the clips that hold it in place.

Once removed, disconnect the electrical connection for the boot lid warning light. Use the flathead screwdriver to help free the cover from the steering column.

Remove the cover, then take out the two screws positioned on the left that secure the cluster. Also remove those on the right.

Now you can take out the cluster and disconnect its connection.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
