Ford Focus Instrument Cluster Problems and Repairs
If your Ford Focus is having trouble starting or the engine cuts out while driving, the cause could be a faulty instrument cluster. When the instrument cluster fails during startup, it can prevent the car from starting. However, if the failure occurs while driving, it can cause the engine to cut out. In such cases, the immobilizer light will flash continuously, and the mileage will display as blank dashes. In some instances, the instrument cluster may fail completely and remain nonfunctional.
