I have a 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan that I bought new about a year and a half ago and was stopped last week by Wichita PD for no license plate illumination. Being this is a brand new vehicle with LED "last forever' bulbs I asked to take a look but sure enough it was out. So I took my 'fix it' ticket to Ford thinking this would be part of my bumper to bumper warranty but was told it was not included. The parts tech said the only way to replace it was to order the entire latch assembly piece for $188 and it would take 2-3 weeks to arrive!?! I only have 10 days to correct the fix it ticket or appear in court (that's all the time WPD gives for these tickets or I have to pay an extension fee), so this was not an option, let alone the price for what used to be a $3 bulb and easy 5 minute fix! I have searched everywhere on the internet with no luck. There are no videos up showing how to replace the tag light on my vehicle, only 2010 and below Focus'. Not only that, but I cannot even find a part for sale. Does anyone have experience with this? Surely the only way for me to get my tag lit again is not to pay $188 and wait 3 weeks is it? This is obviously absurd and outrageous if this is the case. Please, some help. I have searched and searched, and cannot locate a part, replacement bulb or instructions how to replace the bulb. Thank you for any help.
