I've been dealing with this problem for at least 2 years, i tried cleaning the contacts, bypassing and removing the potentiometer but it always comes back, today i said f**k it, and redid every single soldering on the board, because tapping on top of the switch while it was plugged made the problem appear, but there weren't any obvious cold joints, except a resistor leg completely desoldered (factory defect or old age?) If this doesn't hold up i'm either replacing the PWM controller, MOSFET and electrolytic capacitor on the board, or i'm simply gonna use the method shown on this video.👍🏻 I will keep you all updated.

@@N33sWorkshop yeah man it sucks, especially because i drive most of the time at night so it's really frustrating. Also the circuit design is very simple so it never sat right to me that it stops working so randomly, i also noticed that the circuit board is very delicate, many through-hole contacts (like the ones of the potentiometer) lifted off even with low heat so i had to make a bridge to the original tracks with the solder. I think i should've made a video of the work honestly. If my other Focus MK1 decides to pull the same fault i'm definively gonna make a repair video...

The wiring loom I got it from a scrapped car. It's the hardest part to find... Pinout, you can find in the wiring diagram of the car, but without the plugs you can only do ghetto rigged solutions.

Very helpful video! Drew my attention to the previously unrealised, and apparently rather important, fact that the rear/brake light bulb is a DUAL filament one! This knowledge can, at the very least, stop you being pulled over by the police because your brake light is permanently on 🤦😁 No harm done in my case, but be aware that just because a bulb may look right, and fit right, it still might not BE right 😁

The connector on the mirror, has 3 wires and some empty spaces. Wire 1, is the one where you have no empty spaces around it. Wire 2, is between wire 1 and 3 and has no adjacent empty spaces Wire 3, is the closest one to the empty spaces If I remember correctly, there are numbers on the connector.

@@N33sWorkshop Thank you, I will research the central locking brain and control units in my cars. I will try to buy the ultrasonic alarm sensors and electrical parts (wiring harness/plumbing) from the auto parts store. Of course, it is a little difficult to find in Turkey and it is not difficult not to estimate a cost of about 3000 Turkish Liras in this country. There may not be brand new parts and it is important to visit old auto parts stores and find them.

@ttampatrick11 ай бұрын
@@N33sWorkshop ahhhhh found some info in passionford, focaljet... And I can say that the cluster and indications do work (reads speed, rpm, fuel, temperature) BUT, background illumination doesn't. It needs a 180v AC current that is provided by a power inverter in the oil auxiliary cluster... So if you aim to install only the main dashboard of a SVT or ST170, you will need to install a power inverter to get the dials lit up.
