Ford Focus instrument cluster removal
Another one-take, this time on how to remove the gauge cluster on a first generation (2000-2004) Ford Focus. Should apply to both sedan and hatchback models. Disconnecting your battery prior to this procedure is recommended. Reassembly is in simply the reverse of the removal process.
A pair of small pliers would help in removing and installing bulbs, as they seem to get screwed in there pretty tight.

THANKYOU. I am SO glad that I have watched this video, I did not know it was so straight forward. I can get gauges out now and put new trip meter bulb in and check fuel gauge contacts. Thanks.
A+ exactly what info was needed, no rambling, thanks.
Bloody Haynes manual. Before I started to strip the cluster out, I read every detail in the manual. Everything went fine until it came to the multi plug on the back of the cluster. I tried pulling it straight out like it shows in the Haynes. I tried levering it with a screwdriver and I realised there is something wrong here. Went back to the Haynes manual and there is a picture showing the plug in a magicians hand. He must be magic because the black lever on the plug that has to be pushed back off the plug is still in the middle of the plug without any reference to it. What a relief when I watched your video showing how to release the lever before removing the plug. A huge thanks for taking the trouble to put it on KZread as I was nearly ready to pull my hair out.
Thanks so much for the simple straight forward instructional vid. Saved both time & $$ in replacing some burnt out bulbs. U r a gentleman & a scholar..👍
Thanks for not making me watch you remove screws, good video short and to the point.
Thanks! Seems easier than I would have thought.

Excellent, thank you. I can't wait to take mine out and yank that stupid little buzzer out of that instrument cluster. I am so sick of listening to that thing.
Taking things apart is a lot easier than putting it all back together, well for me it is at anyhow lol Peace

Thank you very much for the great video, I have one question though; do I have to disconnect the battery before replacing the cluster? Many thanks

It's recommended to do so when doing anything electrical related on your car, but for pulling a cluster not absolutely mandatory as long as the car stays off.
very good job thank you

To get the check engine light to not be on, you need to fix the problem that's causing it to appear in the first place. A mechanic shop can hook up a scan tool to pull the error code and find out what's the issue.
Awesome 👌 video and I hope & 🙏 4 it 2 B , a quick fix and inexpensive 🤔🤪
Kool and all
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm tryimg to swap my current gauge cluster for one that has a tachometer. My car came without one. Do you know if It's possible to carry over the odometer to the new unit? I heard the data is programmed into the gauge cluster itself so I'm worried by doing so it will alter the mileage readout.

Yes, the mileage is stored in the cluster so the new clusters odometer reading will show.
Hi, in my case neither the speedometer nor the odometer work on my 2002 Focus, although it's an intermittent problem. When this happens, there is a yellow symbol (3rd one up from the left) that shows. Any idea what this could be? Thanks

3rd from the bottom on the left side is the airbag light, I'm not sure how that'd be related to the speedometer and odometer working. If they are intermittently cutting out and at the same time the airbag light appears, my best guess would be possibly a loose ground or defective cluster itself.
What about a 2001 ford escort :O
