Hello and welcome

[@GP-RC]

I have this problem but mine is intermittant. What I have to do when driving is pull over, turn the steering all the way to the left and the headlight sorts itself out for a little while. I will investigate that plug. Awesome video, thank you.

[@nigelbryant5932]

Absolutely amazing result. Thank you so much Mark. 👍👍

[@marcusmaximus451]

Superb job there Mark, as you know I sorted my park pilot malfunction service required by unplugging some bits and the module and cleaning them with WD 40 electrical contact cleaner always handy to have a can of that in the tool box or shelf Your vlog has no doubt helped others out there who may have or have had the same issue catch up soon take care matey 😃👍

[@trevorjarvis3021]

You did very well Mark, Bob should be well pleased. Great result. 😊

[@normanstephens5391]

Hi Mark. Super fix on the headlight. Just goes to show you. With a little more Investigation Can. Result in a cheaper way out. Cheers.

[@MohdjesriOthman-oi1id]

Nice work mate,you mark has good job diagnosed this ford focus titanium x hatchback head lights,after scan this model,I hope will pass the m.o.t.

[@leedshunk]

Thanks to your tutorial here I've fixed the same problem on my ST3 ! THANKS so much 😁🙏

[@lawrancemakama646]

Thank you so much for this...replacing the whole headlight is too expensive. This will save me a lot . Hope it will work me aswell.

[@dstarbee]

Nice work. Having this problem myself, although wires appear intact, didn't dissemble as far down as you. Will give it a further crack myself, but may pop down to you as you're not too far away at all. Thanks for the upload!

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Hi mate no problem I can sort it out pop it to me 👍👍

[@PhantomNovelist]

After fixing cables inside the headlamp, if everything is still dead, check fuse F39 (5 amps) under the hood. Got the same problem on my Focus MK3,5. I guess destroyed cables shorted the electric system and the fuse blowed. Bulbs were working but all the functions were lost (autoleveling, high beam, turning the beam left-right). In Forscan, got a few fault codes in HCM (6 codes total, 3 unique codes per "side", basically saying there is no response from autoleveling, adaptative module and light shutter). Changing F39 fuse (5A) fixed everything.

Your worth your weight in gold well done

[@danielsellers8538]

Another one bites the dust problem solved well done buddy

[@markmackay548]

Hi there watched your video was so helpful thanks. I have had same problem and also stressed of the cost this can be I took my focus 2016 to my local garage and they solderd the wire he explained to me roughly the same problem that you specified in video and the fault has happened again now stressed that may have to buy headlight but in your video you said that you can pickup wiring connectors for unit as my last resort . So my question is what type and were can a source these connectors. Again thanks for video it has took alot of stress off .

[@snipturn]

You think £1,200 is bad for a headlight? Good job you didn't need a bulb. Took my 2015 Titanium X in for a headlight randomly working when it was being serviced at Fords. They're recommendation was to replace the bulb (same Xenon bulbs that you have) and for that they were going to charge £410 - that is JUST to replace the bulb. The bulb was £260 and then 1hrs labour at £150 to fit it. The service guy couldn't believe and had to double check himself and came back astounded saying that it was correct! Took it to Halfords and had a new bulb fitted for £54. I went home and looked it up for myself and official Ford parts on ebay (direct from Ford) and sure enough the bulb was being sold for £260!

[@user-rg1rl4bj9y]

Interesting work good result. Ive got same headlamp malfunction warning on Focus Titanium X (2011) and need the cheaper fix. Can you let me know who your auto electrician that sorted is? Thanks.

[@johnmccarthy-jones1250]

Well done Its a bargain of a repair

[@DrTrax1887]

Hey there, i have the same problem! I replaced the 4-pin connector and checked the fuse but the headlight malfunction message still pops up and the high beam doesn’t work. Do I have to delete the error codes in the Control unit?

[@rickwilliams1505]

Brilliant result and find

[@martinfield1484]

Well done mark in finding that great result saved £££££££sss

[@RohanHerzig]

awesome video, i also have this issue on my focus RS Mk3, i have a question how do i remove the white plug attached to the board i have tried everything. my wire broke here and not on the small black plug =/

[@Propolizei]

I have the same error on board. I've noticed that my "eyebrow" leds that are parts of my daylights are both turn on on contact, but when I turn engine on, right one turns off after 5 sec, and sometimes left one also after some time. At evening, everything is fine, both leds turn on s part of night lights (via photo sensor on front glass) Car is Ford focus titanium 2011. Any help? Thanks

[@leannejolley3]

I have this exact issue with passenger side but I have water in it. No matter what is replaced and how much I spend it fails the mot every year as the condensation gets in😢

[@filipnikolic8805]

[@4STR4L_VR]

[@tanasesebastian5063]

Exactly the same problem on a '16 Focus ST, just on the right side

[@RLT_Official_Music]

Hi! I have the same shit problem. I keep getting this error, and the thing is that sometimes it’s working just fine. When the fault comes up, I’m unable to use the beam light, and the light are getting pointing low, and not wide as usual. It’s Ford S-Max 2016. Where are you located? Cheers!!!

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Nicely done Mark ….I have no idea why they put all this crap on cars It’s just not necessary in my opinion! well I do to make a load of cash I guess lol hopefully that’s it sorted 🤞or poor old Bobs gonna be eating beans on toast for a while !

[@alancobbin]

Hey if the total bill is a few hundred quid I’ll take that over £1200 any day of the week,nice one fella 👍💪😉

[@simonsuv8376]

I have a 65 reg focus titanium x had exactly the same issue with the headlight same wire bought new plug of ebay £8.50

[@keithanderson1768]

Hello mate, do u have a link for the plug u bought as I have the exact same issue with my light. Or do u know what it is called please? Thanks

[@giovannynavarrete3467]

Muchas gracias problema resuelto y ahorro 2000€ en taller oficial

[@vov9261]

That's a great job you done there. Cheap fix compare to new headlight. I have 2015 titanium x as well, but my lights stick to the right when I drive. When stop they going straight until next turning right. Still looking on Internet what could it be.

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Hi maté sounds like the wiring check that first 👍👍

[@vov9261]

Yesterday took the headlights, disconnected the wiring all look good apart from high voltage 1, put some insulation tape to keep the outside wire together. Reconnected everything and it's working fine so far. I think it was a lose connection somewhere. Will keep an eye on it.

[@NuKeR_58]

Hi guys, the same issue, headlight sticked to the one side occurling in my Ford Focus 2016 too, but l have No malfunction signal on my display screen. I took the headlight out but there is no broken wiring. The problem comes out when the inner Headlight key is on Auto mode. What do you think? I am fed up with this issue.

[@vov9261]

@NuKeR_58 I fixed mine. Cleaned all the pins inside of the headlight and outside. Then 2 month late other headlight started doing the same, no fault on dashboard. It was pins outside not gripping tight enough.

[@NuKeR_58]

@@vov9261 thnx for information, when l try it , l'll keep you posted.

[@bretthale9290]

Great fix but i don't get all the stressing,worse case could have found a secondhand headlamp

[@nigelbryant5932]

Second hand headlight was £400

[@Openfly]

Thx 🙏

[@arifsanni6609]

How can you be reached, my ford focus has a similar fault and requires fixing, please.

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

Hi mate you can email me buddy [e-mail]

[@Lasercapri]

You saved him a few BOB 😂👍

[@mandymoo7406]

[@alanmoore1698]

Absolute brilliant work without light to think Ford wanted 1200 pounds for a loose wire

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Mark well spotted that was of a broken wire,it has definitely saved £1200 for Bob.fingers crossed it has solved the problem.

[@mandymoo7406]

it was a simple soldering job why give a bloke 50 notes?if you couldnt have got to the lug i would have got my cutting wheel out cut a big hole in the light and then rewelded the body back in position and covered it it soudal sealant,next job please😊
