RE: 2000 FOCUS
need more info dude, like how long have you had the car, mialage etc..
but start with the simple stuff, like check your battery, they tipically last about 3-4 years from the dealership, also depending on where you live the extreme temperature drop or increase sometimes does it, my car does it once a year , and then its fine after that. for ex. it s 50 degrees one day and the next its 25 degrees baterry gets sluggish.

Had the same problem, if yours is like mine was, grab some steel wool/wire brush, clean your battery terminals
then get terminal protector spray from your automotive parts store of choice. give the terminals
a good coat of it and you'll be good to go.
have fun let us know if it helps out.

kinda the same thing, but when you try to start and hear clicking does ur basical electric stuff work (radio, lights)
if so try this below. mine when i have this problem it will click a bunch of times and the radio works but wont start.
start carying a hammer or mallet... (i have the same thing) tap on the red side of the battery with somthing.
it will start.. was at intersection w/ red light on main st. sherrif's car next to me my car did the same thing.
i had to pop hood and do this. i dont know why but its like its not getting a good connection.
BTW i took this to wal-mart and had battery end replaced it works find so far.s
