2012 Front Bumper

[Clarck]

Hi all, 

 

I bought a second hand Ford Focus SEL 2012 in January when I was in rush and the seller really tricked me and sold me a really damaged car. Its front bumper is broken and getting worse everyday.  I have some questions. It will  be really helpful if have some knowledge please help me. 

1) Do you know what is the device behind the front bumper in driver side above the fog light . I have ordered a full set of front bumper to replace it but I just notice today, there is an electrical module in another cover behind the front bumper in driver side and its cover is broken too and it is falling down. It has a cable connected into that. I did not find the name of that device to order the its cover . Do you know what is the name of that device ? 

2) Every time that turn on the car the radio is restarted after a few second, the volume goes down and the screen goes to black screen that it should be closed and the channel jumps to something. Is that normal that it goes to a default setting or there is a problem?

3) The bottoms on the right side of the wheel  doesn't work. Is there a fuse that causes this issue?

4) I cannot change the time on the climate screen. why?

 

Thanks a lot. I appreciate you time in advance.

Hi Clarck. Welcome to the Blue Oval Forums and sorry to hear you were deceived on your purchase. I will try to answer what I can:

 

1 - Until someone can tell you exactly what the "device" behind the bumper is (a photo might help), you may be able to find out for yourself. See if there is a part # listed somewhere on the device/part. If yes, Google the part #.

2 - No, that radio behavior is not normal.

3 - It could be a fuse, could be failed buttons, could be any of a range of other issues. If you have your Owners Manual, you can check the fuse chart listings. Look for "Fuses" in the Index for the applicable pages. If you do not have your Owners Manual, you can download the PDF version here: https://www.fleet.ford.com/parts-service/resources/owner-manuals/

4 - Check the Owners Manual for the instructions for changing the clock time.  Look in the Index under "Clock" or something similar. If those instructions do not work, there may be some type of underlying issue.

 

This will get you started, until another member may be able to give you more specific information.

 

Let us know how you make out and good luck.
