How to Replace the Door Lock on a Ford Focus?

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Door lock

To replace the door lock on a Ford Focus, use a tool to pry off the window switch panel and the protective cover around the internal handle. Once these two components are removed, unscrew the screws underneath: this will allow you to detach the door panel and access the door lock from the inside. Release the lock from its mounting screws and connectors: this way, you can replace the lock with a new one and reattach the panel.
