ford focus lcd display problems quotation

The displays are illuminated by LED"s but also contain a colored layer of foil that is embedded between the layers of glass. The green displays have a green colored foil while the red displays have a red colored foil.

Installing a MK2 instrument cluster with green illumination or MK2.5 instrument cluster is perfectly possible. Since 2008 I have done this at least a dozen times. Even an RS instrument cluster is fully compatible with any MK2/MK2.5 Petrol version. Installing an MK2.5 instrument cluster can also be quite cheap. Recently I bought a low mileage, mint condition MK2.5 instrument cluster with large display from a UK based scrap yard I paid less than €100,- including P&P. The Focus MK2/MK2.5 instrument cluster can easily be configured/reprogrammed using a cheap ELM327 in combination with the free ELMconfig and Forscan software.

Recently, the dashboard LCD texts started to dim as the car moves and vibrates. When I give a gentle tap around the LCD (on the silver part of the instrument cluster), the LCD texts brightness comes back to normal. These pixels border stays there until the LCD sleeps (after I lock the car and wait for around 10 minutes, for example).

When I make the LCD light up again, 1 of 2 things may happen: Either the LCD comes back to normal (with no pixels border), or the pixels border comes back differently.

I searched all over Focus forums and haven"t found anyone with a similar problem. I wonder if it may be a LCD problem or a bad connected cable. I"m thinking on getting the instrument cluster off, firmly connect it again, and install the cluster back on.

The Ford Focus instrument cluster is a very common failure, it will cause an intermittent failure of all instruments, lights and gauges. If the instrument cluster fails while driving then this will often cause the engine to cut out. If failure happens while attempting to start the vehicle then it will prevent the engine from starting. You will notice the immobilizer light flashes continuously when the instrument cluster fails and the mileage reading will only show dashes (-------) instead of the mileage. The fault normally always starts out as an intermittent fault but will become permanent with time.In the meantime until we can get to you “BASH THE DASH” right on the top above the cluster and this quite often gives a temporary fix.

It is the double display type normally fitted to the automatic and what happens is the lcd display breaks as it is not designed to be stripped out for repair,we can still repair the circuit board but cannot be held responsible for any lcd damage during the repair

Additionally, the charge time can increase if you use the car’s electrical devices, like the dashboard LCD display, while recharging the battery. So, you may want to keep all vehicle electrical components shut off.Finally, fast charging may harm your car’s battery in the long run. So, it’s best to recharge batteries slowly or with a smart battery charger to preserve battery life.
