How to Remove the Door Panel of the Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

To remove the front door inner panel of the Ford Focus, start with the handle cover, which is clipped in and can be removed by prying from the bottom. Use an 8 mm spanner to undo the two internal screws. Next, remove the cover of the exit handle and the window switch panel, both of which are clipped in. Be careful to disconnect the electrical connectors on the latter. Now push the panel out from the bottom, then from the outer side, and finally from the top. The panel was actually only secured by the two screws we removed from the handle, so it comes off easily. Just be cautious of the electrical connectors.

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.
