Video tutorial

In this video, you can see where the external temperature sensor is located in the Ford Focus, useful if you need to replace it as it is a device that can be easily damaged. As shown, the sensor is positioned at the lower area of the right wing mirror.

To access and subsequently replace it, you will need to remove the mirror itself. If the sensor is not located here, it is likely positioned at the back of the front bumper, near the main grille.

In this case, you can access it from underneath the vehicle.
