Removing the head light from a ford focus 55 plate

Passenger compartment fuse panel: The fuse panel is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by the brake pedal. Remove the CD stowage box to access the fuses. THis and other details can find in the 2005-Ford-Focus-Owners-Manual (page 148 and next).

Good lukc (remember rated this).

Loosen the adjustment bolt on the alternator, remove old belt, fit new one and stretch it slightly with the adjustment of the alternator until you have 2mm of deflection. Tighten up the bolt and take her for a run to charge the battery properly.

There is a plastic "plate" surrounding your CD player; on the back of this "plate" there are 4 plastic guide/retainer pins about 3/4 of an inch long. Generally located in the 4 corners of the "plate." With that in mind, using a taped-up, flat-headed screw driver(tape the flat end as to not scratch the interior trim) and simply and ever so lightly, pry the coin dish(below the "plate" mentioned above)out and away from the dash,opening a hand sizes hole. From that hole using the same screw-driver, using the same technique, remove the plate; being oh so careful because the temp control knobs, cig lighter, etc, come out attached to the "plate."
You will notice, I believe, 4 small octagonal plastic bolt heads protruding from the area right next to the player......remove those bolts, unplug radio and whalll-laah..

The player will have to be removed from the dashboard and the Serial Number will be on a label on the radio casing

It should begin with M or V or L  or C

Take pipe of washer pump,see if if it pumps
If not remove pump,check and clean filter ,if this model does not have fiiter,and you can hear pump and it is not pumping,replace it.

IS YOUR AERIAL CONNECTOR CONNECTED

Take a thin blade screw driver and gently pry between the rubber seal and the metal and pop the light out, replaced the bulb and pop the light back in. works fine.
