I was one of the unsuspecting Ford Focus owners who came across this problem not so long ago. Transmission Malfunction and Engine warnings had me worried at first but it quickly didn’t add up, especially when it was intermittent. Some searching on the web had revealed that it was the pesky instrument cluster. This video helped me understand exactly what I needed to do and gave me the confidence to buy a soldering iron and try and fix the problem myself. A week later after the repair, it appears to have been successful. Whilst I didn’t have a microscope, I could still in fact see cracking on the original solder, so a re-solder of all the joints gives that extra security for any further mishaps. I will check in from time to time and update readers of this comment section but for now, the issue seems to have been fixed. Thank you to the creator of this video, you have helped so much!

Great video. The only thing I would advise doing differently is regarding removing the needles; they do not need to be *twisted* off. It's better to pull them directly up and off - use a fork or teaspoon to pry them up if they're stiff. When reinstalling, press them directly down in the same position that you lifted them off. By twisting them as you remove, you will almost certainly knock the stepper motor's stopping point out of position. Then when you reinstall the needles, they'll give incorrect readings. Readjusting and recalibrating them is very fiddly and time consuming.

This exact issue has been causing start up problems for a couple of months. Diagnostics scans cost £80 and that’s before any repair work takes place. Car wouldn’t start but pressing on the instrument panel brought the engine to life. So definitely symptomatic of failing connectors. Reflowed them and the engine started up first time. No warning lights since. Thank you so much for making this guide you saved me a lot of time and money.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for this - was experiencing some problems with my car which was diagnosed as a faulty instrument cluster. Thought I would follow your video and give the repair a go, and it solved all the problems. Really clear and easy to follow. Thank you!

Great video! Was having the same sorts of problems as I'd heard about, erratic dial needles, random non-starts, engine malfunction/reduced acceleration etc. Narrowed it down to this being the cause when I realised I could hit the dash above the instrument cluster to make it start up/bring the needles back to life. Was doing my head in. Saw this video and thought I'd try it myself to save some money and it worked great. My soldering is pretty sloppy and even I managed. Thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing this, my wife's 2010 CMax had started messing around with engine malfunction warnings, immobiliser issues etc. The diagnostics pointed to multiple CANBUS communication issues, but it didn't seem to be related to the cluster, banging it seemingly had no effect. That said, after getting stranded in a car park with an immobilised car, I decided to open up the cluster and at each end of the connector there were dry cracked joints. I desoldered and resoldered them all to get best results and the car is working perfectly again. The garage my wife normally takes the car to wouldn't touch it, and were essentially saying it might be time to replace it, so this has saved the cost of a new car!

I had this problem a few weeks back. It wouldn't start on one occasion and a quick bang on the dash got it going which confirmed it was this particular issue so I whipped out the panel, followed the video, wasn't difficult and my focus is running fine now. This has saved me a chunk of money and hassle so a big thank you. 👍👍

@@Cripinub1 No it was difficult to see which one was faulty. In any case, it made sense to re-solder all the joints to prevent another one becoming loose so I didn't need to find the faulty one.

Thank you for your video. I had the same kind of problems on my Focus2 (2010) : Engine warnings, and sometimes unable to start the engine (in French : défaut moteur and sometimes défaut direction assisté). I check the instrument cluster and found exactly the same cracks on connector solders. I fixed the failure one week ago, and no fault came back. Thanks a lot !

Warning lights, needles and alarms would go off randomly on 2008 Focus nearly every time I drove it. Sometimes wouldn't even start, but thanks to your diagnostic video I knew to waggle the cluster to get going. I was resigned to having to get rid of an otherwise sound vehicle (42,000 miles) but thought s*** or bust and took it apart. I was reluctant to deal with a surface-mount, computer-related board but the offending connector is through-hole so no prob. Sorted! Having reassembled I found the needles had come off zero so had to be reset again. And only on it's last journey into position did I realise that the whole cluster assy will fit between the spokes of the steering wheel - I'd been forcing it behind. Duh! Many, many thanks for such a clear & concise demo and giving the wherewithal to save an expensive replacement, by which I mean car: it was unusable and unsellable. Now it has a 12 month MOT and should do me until I go EV.

Followed instructions on clip. Resoldered the 32 pins under the connector. Cleared all the fault codes using ELM OBD 2 (bluetooth one), used Torque pro software to clear codes, did 25 miles driving and no problem so far. Please note that if the engine malfunction display lights up and acceleration is reduced, if you turn off engine after stopping. Then you wont be able to restart the engine. If you clear the faults using elm OBD 2 reader then the engine can be restarted and you can get home. Thank you very much for the detailed video, It's brilliant. My middle display had two connecting strips, managed to take them out by pulling out two plastic lug near the connectors.

Thank you for this video! My C Max was flashing and bleeping at me every few miles saying “Engine Malfunction, Acceleration Reduced” and then being fine again, and this resolder fixed it in half an hour. Thank you so much for posting, I’d have had NO idea how to get into that cluster!

Great video and nice clean soldering. I've had a couple of issues. Last week went to start the car and got an engine fault. Turned off ignition and back on, started fine and running sweet as a nut. Today had a similar thing happen and car displayed limited power with MPH gauge jumping up then down. Pulled over, stop, started and drove home no problems. No misfires or strange noises. Checked the codes with a cheap reader but no codes logged, pending or current. It's a 58 plate so it wouldn't surprise me if this is the problem.
