Sounds like a defective brake light switch. This switch also helps control the shift lock for the gear shift. The switch is attached to the brake pedal. Try wiggling the switch/wiring to see if this corrects the problem. If so, I would recommend replacing the brake light switch as it will most likely happen again

SOURCE: zx5 2004 ford focus alternator broken

disconnect the battery & make sur you have your radio code, then remove the belt.
it's pretty simple there's a nut in the middle of the tensioner wheel, get the right size socket & using a ratchet, move the tensioner by locking the rathet & do or undo the nut, as it's a fixed nut used to swivel the tensioner.
Then undo the wiring on the back of the alternator, usually a click in multiplug and a + power cable boted on with a 10mm nut.
then remove anything in the way of the alternator securing bolts, & remove the bolt's, alternator should be free !
But I don't suggest you do it yourself unless you have a reasonable grasp of mechanics, as I have had to do this job properly after some people have tried themselves & they've made it worse, plus once the belt's off you have no power sterring so you can't drive it to the garage if you can't get the belt back on !

SOURCE: how to change front wheel bearings on 2002 ford

these are pressed in wheel bearing assemblies. axles need to be removed out of the spindle and either a special tool to do it on the car needs to be used or the entire spindle removed and carefully pressed in and out. if you so choose to take this venture on i would suggest taking the spindle off by removing the brake caliper, rotor, axle nut, 2 bolts for the strut, lower ball joint, and tie rod. once this has been done and the pieces are in your hand take it to some place like napa or a local repair shop and pay them to do the press work.

Brake lights staying on when car comes out of park 2002 ford focus

Clint, you might want to check your break switch to see if your button is stuck. It is right above your brake pedal. The pedal led actually hits the button of the switch. See if you can loosen it.

My 2001 ford focus is stuck in park, stepping on brake, does not release it from park, and brake lights are not working.........

Without the brake lights working the shift interlock can't release. Turn the key just off the "locked" position and you should be able to shift to neutral and start the engine then shift to drive or reverse. Just don't shift back into park until you are parking the car to leave it.

Ford Focus ZX5 - Rear brake lights stay on when car is running and in gear

Hi, you have suffered a major electrical short here, and the car is telling you via the light signals that you need to take care of this in a garage. The original short burnt cables, which is why there is visible signs of melting, smell etc. I know it will involve a cost, but consider the value of your life if the car was to go on fire with you or your family in it? Another short will cause such a fire, get to a garage soon!

Ford Focus ZX5 - Rear brake lights stay on when car is running and in gear

You are the MAN, Just like you said TRocky, there was a short in the center brake light wiring. Found the short in the rubber boot that connects from the lift gate to the car. Inside that rubber boot the wires were cracked and some were shorting.Repaired the wiring and everything is back to normal.
