Electrical problem
2001 Ford Focus Engine Size unknown Wheel Drive Type unknown Manual 80000 miles

hi
Ive had my ford focus about 2 months about 3 weeks ago I noticed all the inside electrics flickereing this mainly happend when the car was just started. It graduley got worse with the abs and break light coming on then the whole dash would cut out and come back on with all lights although the motor seemed to still run fine. I took the car to a garage they said it was the voltage regulator on the alternater. So I had the alternater replaced and some wires that seemed to have gone crispy. Got the car back it worked fine for about a week when I noticed the flickering start again and now its gradulay getting worse again its also a lot worse when the headlights are on. Im taking the car back to the garage but was wondering if you had anyi ideas

Even though my problem was with a Chrysler Pacifica, I believe we had the same problem. I am sure it is the same thing and no matter how many times I took my car to the dealer they could not fix it. The always blame the computer and want to replace or "flash" it. Anyway take a look at that post and see if it doesn't help you out.
