Ford Focus

Its not too complicated.

1. Look on under side of bumper, you will see four 7mm bolts holding two light assemblies in place.

2. Loosen these four bolts but don't remove them. A 1/4 or 1/2 inch ratchet with a 7mm socket will expedite the process.

3. Slide the assemblies toward body of the car (about 1 inch) so they are loose. The bolts ride in a slot.

4. Slide a loose light assembly toward the other light and gently pull out so the assembly is hanging free of the bumper with about 4 inches of wire. You'll see the opening in the bumper housing is wider in the space between the lights. I needed to gently push up on bumper housing plastic to get the assembly out, but then it came out quite readily. Repeat this step so both light assemblies are hanging loose.

5. Twist the black bulb holder one quarter turn on the back of the assembly and pull, this separates the weather cover from the bulb.

6. Push the bulb down against the spring and then pull back out, it should separate relatively easily.

Note: Total time was about 5 minutes to replace two bulbs. The specs call for #194 bulbs. Check your local auto supply; I paid $1.56 for two bulbs. With the bolts in place but loose they will slide right in, following these directions in reverse. These directions work on all Impalas made from 2000 through 2005.

The engine in a 2002 Ford Focus typically comes out from the top of the car during removal and replacement procedures. This process involves disconnecting various components such as the wiring harness, hoses, and motor mounts before using a hoist to lift the engine out from the engine bay. Removing the engine from the bottom would require extensive disassembly of the front suspension and subframe, which is not a standard practice for this vehicle model.

I recently added freon to the low pressure side of the system. The port is located under the passenger side fender. You need to remove the, then take 2 fasteners off the front edge of the fender liner. You'll find the well hidden low pressure charging port there.

All O2 sensors are screwed into the exhaust system. Follow the exhaust pipes from the engine rearward and you will find them all.

Remove the covering under the glove box. Disconnect the power to the blower. The blower motor is fastened to the ductwork with 3 screws.

Parfocality is the term used to indicate that when an object is in focus at low magnification, it will also remain in focus at higher magnifications without the need for refocusing.

A Ford Focus typically weighs around 1,300 to 1,400 kilograms.

The up arrow light on the dash panel of a 2007 Ford Focus is typically the high beam indicator. It illuminates when the high beams are turned on to alert the driver.

It sounds like there could be an issue with the alternator or the electrical system in your car. The drop in idle speed and juddering indicate a potential problem with the engine. The flickering interior lights and headlights suggest an issue with the alternator not properly charging the battery. It's best to have a mechanic inspect and diagnose the specific cause to address the problem correctly.

A bubbling noise when accelerating on a Mercury Topaz 1990 could indicate a problem with the cooling system, such as air bubbles in the coolant or a leak. It is recommended to check the coolant level, look for any visible leaks, and consider bleeding the cooling system to remove air pockets. If the issue persists, it's best to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle.
