Mine turns over but want start

Willie Nes says:

I just had the head lining out of my Focus Trend wagon and the engine wouldn't turn over, didn't recognise any gears, really weird. Something to do with the R/H cable going down the A pillar when it was unplugged

My focus has been through multiple New batteries,and still won't hold a charge, summer or winter. What could it possibly be?

Steven Walker says:

Starter solenoid… not actually the starter

YOU THE REAL MVP FOR THIS VIDEO!!! My 2015 Ford Focus SE manual wouldn't start. This video gave me a few ideas to try and I got her to start!

Question … what would caused all the injectors not to fire ? I have a 12' focus and I am getting fuel at the high pressure injection and at the rail…it semi-run with starter fluid but obviously won't last long .. fuse for injectors and pump are good… how do I test crank position or cams position sensors?

2011 Ford Focus MK3 Titanium Diesel (with keyless start-stop push button, with NO remote starter, nor any after market systems added to it), running fine, just came out of the Ford Car Service after changing the distribution (normal operation after a specific number of years/kilometers/miles) and had everything checked. Had the battery recently replaced with the one according to the specifications (75 Ah, 730 A, EFB technology for supporting start/stop system). After around 600 kms, in the middle of the night, while running, suddenly displays message on the dashboard: "Engine malfunction. Service now!" I pull over, stop the engine and inspect the engine compartment. Nothing suspicious. Nothing leaking. Normal temperature, normal oil level, fuel tank full. From that moment on the car won't start anymore. No cranking sound, just a low "tick" sound from the fuse box when trying to start it. The first engineer inspects it and says it's a FordKey issue, as the electronic key chip it's no longer being accepted by the car. Brought to the Ford Car Service, they inspect it thoroughly and they say it's not that. The battery power is fine (12.53V), the fuses are good, the relays are good, the starter is fine (they even tested it separately), the computer diagnostic doesn't reveal any error codes. They claim all systems are fine, but they can't find what's wrong. After several resets, as a last resort, they upgrade the engine computer software and miraculously the car starts normally again!
So what was the problem? i ask. The engineer gives me a shrug saying he's never seen anything like that ever before.

Good Tutorial

Mark Decker says:

Have have 2016 Ford Focus SE .. had to replace the battery.. after that system fault light and no hill assist light comes up and won’t start. I towed to dealer because of warranty and they told me no power now. It had lights and dash lights on when I towed it.

I need a new pcm

JOE Hyundai Tech says:

what a grate video

JOE Hyundai Tech says:

I am not a fan of remote starters unless it is factory I have seen them cause to many issues and make more work for me . it can cause a issue with any car not just a ford focus. one of the first questions I ask a customer now if they have a no start condition is do you have a aftermarket remote starter

emad musallam says:

lmfao i sold one the other day to a nice sweet old lady that fell in love with it.the very next day she calls me and tells me it wont start any more …i had it in the shop for 2 day and went crazy few times …it ended up being the fucking ground wire in the transmition.simple fix

Andy Gillis says:

Thank you for making this video because it was very informative.

Sal Med says:

I have a 2007 Saturn Aura and the car is working fine until I put it on reverse going up my driveway it will turn off so I have to re start it but it will turn off again until several tries I finally get it up the driveway. This doesn’t happen on flat surface any idea? Traction light does come on going up the driveway in reverse but once I turn it off traction light goes away too. Any ideas I would really appreciate. Thank u (fellow auto wholesaler in CA)

Was that a S5 behind you?

Muskoka Mike says:

Just a head's up: you could have headlights, interior lights and radio but the battery might not have enough juice to crank the engine. No crank first thing to do is boost it.

MY F150's battery goes dead because I don't drive it enough and I can get in and everything works but not enough to crank the engine. Pull out the battery booster and fires right up.

Fritz Duval says:

I see a BMW 740I in the background. Are you trying to have a a customer of yours go Postal on ya after buying that Junk of a car? Lol

Brett Thomson says:

Really good video plase keep them coming keep safe you and your family

Robert B says:

I also buy and sell cars and even something like a cheap watch battery in the remote has caused super odd issues. I had a 2005 accord that couldn't be 100% fixed even after taking it back to best buy under warranty like 5 times. Factory is the way to go.

Mike Davis says:

Worst car ever I had one I was stuck with it for 6 years I've had 4 starters 4 transmissions and 2 engines before I hit 95k dont ever buy one again I'm trying to help you man the radio is also junk I replaced mine twice dump this car asap

Carlos Javier Johnson Oliva says:
