Ford Focus Titanium X Headlight Problem With Headlight Malfunction Service Required On Dash

[@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.

Mate! You saved my life! (And £1200) I literally had the same problem with my 2016 Titanium X estate. 2 of my wires were broken, i managed to solder the wires back on to the the terminals to get me back up and running. Have ordered the repair looms off ebay for £20 each and will keep in stock until my repair fails. Bro! Well done fella! 👍🏻👌🏻

@@Ric007Mason Hi mate the are great you fixed them main stealers trying to rip people off because of there headlight problem nice one glad you fixed them 👍👍

[@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 👍👍

[@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 😃👍

[@cliveroulstone9366]

Your worth your weight in gold well done

[@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.

[@jazzupme1]

Thanks!

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

No problem! Mate appreciate the sticker 👍👍

[@trevorjarvis3021]

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

[@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!

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.

[@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.

[@MichaelWrankmore]

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.

[@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 .

[@leedshunk]

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

[@jazzupme1]

By the way the replacement connector on ebay costs anything from £18 - £30, I got mine on Temu for £1.20 and it did the job fine. Temu (Titanium Xenon Headlight Repair/Wiring Loom Fix Kit)

[@nigelbryant5932]

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

[@anthonystone6214]

Hey. I’m having the exact say problem. Just check and my wire has done the exact same! Can I be cheeky and ask what part you was going to order from eBay please 🙏

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

@@anthonystone6214 hi mate just search on eBay for Ford headlights repair kit you should see them just need to order the correct one headlight needs taking to see

[@anthonystone6214]

@@ResurwreckAutosUK hey I’m struggling to find the correct part. Any chance you have a email address I can contact you and send you an image of it please?

[@trevhib]

We bought a 65 plate Titanium X recently and it had a headlight levelling issue in the service history, I suspect it was this. I found a replacement flexiwire connector in the boot and wondered what it was, I know now! No idea if it's a spare or the original one that was replaced (or whether that fixed the issue). Incidentally the car in the video doesn't quite have everything on it. There is a heated steering wheel option, a paddle shift steering wheel option and a sunroof option on these Titanium X's. Turns out you can't have the heated wheel and paddles in the same wheel. Shame, I'd like to upgrade ours.

[@danielsellers8538]

Another one bites the dust problem solved well done buddy

[@tanasesebastian5063]

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

[@jazzupme1]

Hi Mark,I have this same problem with my Focus Xenon headlight. While searching the net I came across your tutorial. I discovered that 2 wires have come off this connector but to get at it I need to remove the balast. Please could you tell me the name of the socket for the 3 screws holding the balast plate on, also can I buy a new connector, if so what is the name of it. As you point out this could save me a whole heap of money (£1200). Thank you in advance. You are gold.

[@ResurwreckAutosUK]

@@jazzupme1 Hi mate I’m glade you are trying to fix this problem your self you will save loads of money on eBay search Ford Focus headlight repair kit you will see listing with some wires coming out of a block some have two wires some have 3 wires find out which one you have and buy that one the screws on the ballast I think or toques T15 or a T20 hope this helps and good luck 🤞🏻 👍

[@Weedl3ss]

Nice job. Do you remember the code of the connector. I have the exact same problem 😢😢😢 ?

[@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.

[@pkmisma]

I do have the same car 2015 Titanium X red colour. But the warning msg comes intermittently and the high beam works fine. What could be the issue

[@trevhib]

I'd guess it's one of these susceptible wires that is fraying but is not completely broken yet.

[@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

[@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?

[@ab-zo3qb]

Did you fix in end ? Same issue in mine ive replaced the wire and still the problem occurs

[@DrTrax1887]

@ yes, the wiring from me was wrong actually. I checked it with the other headlight and after that its working just fine

[@ab-zo3qb]

​@@DrTrax1887glad you got yours sorted, i will have to double check mine but im sure my wires are all good , i do have 4 error codes for my left side though

[@DrTrax1887]

@ did you Google them? I also checked the error message but after I fixed my wiring they were gone.

[@filipnikolic8805]

Where is the PIN for high beam activation.......I have a problem because I replacet my halogen lights with these original biXenon BUT high beams doesnt work, I think because of different pins........... PLease help me! Thny

Hi can you help please, I have a faulty with my dipped beam keeps bringing up a error code and failed its mot, coikdcthis be the same issue, they have quoted me £2000😢

[@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

[@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 !

[@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]
