2003 Ford Focus CD/MP3 stereo controls do not work.

I have a 2003 Ford Focus. Recently I was thinking of switching out my stereo, and I removed my current stereo to look at the wiring. (I have since decided not to get a new one) When I put the stereo back in, it stopped working properly. When I put a CD in it played it, but none of the controls work and the display does not come on. How do I fix this?

I installed a new turn signal switch in the steering column, and it fixed my brake light problem. Evidentally the turn signal and brake light wires use the same plug wires. It cost about $70. I would suggest doing this.

you must make sure that the back of the radio has 3 'sockets' The odd one on its own has three wires and this is the one for remotes

My 2003 Ford Focus radio keeps going on and off, I cannot get it to change stations or the cd player to work or anything. I have checked the fuses and they are fine

buy a replacement on eBay, call around to auto stereo stores and get a price for them to swap in your replacement and toss the old one. there is no way you can fix an OEM radio/CD for less than the price of a replacement. junkyards, eBay, craiglist are all good places to find used car radios.

2003 ford focus replaced brake switch lights will work in park but when i engage revs neut drive brake lights stay ?????

I have the same problem with my 03 Focus hatchback! Someone stoppedme yesterday to tell me that they looked like they were always on when i was driving but when i was in "Park" they worked... This particular driver was also driving a focus hatchback and asked me if my Cruise Control was working.. It actually was not and he told me the same thing happened with his focus. He said it was a wire attached to the back brake lights that had broken. I have not yet gotten it fixed. has anyone else had this problem?

Hello, I have a recent Ford Focus with 6000CD RDS which frequently reports ''CD ERROR''. I've taken it in to the service center and they reset it and gave me a code as well as a tool to remove the unit to...

The 4 digit code is to unlock the stereo if the stereo is asking for the code.
If your stereo is working fine then just ignore it but keep the code safe, if your battery ever gets disconected or you remove stereo and put it back in then you will need the code to unlock it again.

Replaced battery in my 03 ford focus now my car stereo will not power on. any procedure to reactivate my car stereo to turn. been reading horror stories about this setup. ugh!!

Not sure if this will help you , but many aftermarket have a reset switch behind the faceplate. would be a small hole about big enough to poke the tip of a ball point pen into.
Also , remove the faceplate and replace it making sure it is clicked in securly.
