Ford Focus
The third generation of the Ford Focus, also known as the Focus Mk III, was manufactured between 2011 and 2018 in Europe, while in North and South America, it was produced from 2012 to 2019/20. This compact car was offered in two body styles: a 4-door sedan, a 5-door hatchback, and a 5-door estate (wagon) model. The introduction of a new 2.0-liter direct injection I4 engine was another notable feature of this generation of the Focus. Nonetheless, the variant of the Focus fitted with the Ford DPS6 PowerShift transmission encountered significant criticism for experiencing transmission shuddering, with multiple lemon law claims filed. This issue was attributed to the dry-type clutches used in gasoline-powered models. Ford's response to this issue is to replace the clutch pack assembly with updated parts when shuddering exceeds 250 rpm upon customer complaint. Nevertheless, despite this setback, the third-generation Ford Focus remains a popular choice for drivers seeking an efficient and dependable compact car.

Hello, good afternoon, I saw your video, which was very informative. But I have the following question: is it possible to place an LED in the backwards reflector (it is red) on the driver's door?

[@PhilAshcroft]

To change a broken door latch, the amount of work that has to be done is absolutely pathetic, crazy

You dont have to take any of the window parts off

[@devonmcnealy8900]

Could you have gotten the acctuator out by just removing the glass rail and moving it to the side or is there not enough clearance?

[@schmick63]

Yes you don't have to take the glass out, just take out the 2 silver torx nuts the hold the glass rail and you will have enough clearance.

[@djstefharvey]

Do you have the part number of the actuator please ?

[@rolandohiebert2144]

I took the glass out but not the rest of the window motor assembly

I just did the job but instead of putting a new latch in I fixed it by putting a small spring behind the mechanism inside the latch the way another youtube video shows. Lets see how long the repair will last but the latch works better now than it ever has.kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fTg42mqNdjrbcsi=R-M9AYXz9dTf8URm
