Focus lighting fault

Anyone seen lighting issues on a 2009 Ford Focus gasoline? Lights switch on, and an error is stored. Suspect a bad cable or plug.

Hey! Sounds frustrating. I had a similar problem with my old Opel Corsa a few years back. My dashboard lights and tail lights were acting up. Turned out to be a dodgy headlight switch. Was yours intermittent, or is it a constant issue?

Thanks. The fault is constantly present. Could you elaborate on what was faulty with your light switch and how it was diagnosed?

Ah, constant issue, gotcha. Mine was intermittent, making it a pain to diagnose. But, since yours is constant, it might be easier to pinpoint. Honestly, I just took it to a workshop after fiddling with it a bit. They said the switch itself was faulty, probably some internal corrosion. Given that you've got an error code, I'd suggest doing the same, those electrical gremlins can be a nightmare to chase down!

Thanks for sharing. I'll bring it to a workshop. I've been quoted 95€ for the repair, which seems reasonable. Hopefully, they'll find the defective cable or plug connection quickly.
