2000 Focus Electrical Problem
My 2000 Focus just died mid-turn the other day. I couldn't get the car to crank. I hear a clicking under the dash. I have no window power and the shifter is locked. Radio works, lights work, door locks, etc. Also when I tried to jump it I could not get a spark from the chassis. I've heard a lot of people changing their ignition switch and the starter solenoid, or the relay. I do not have a problem turning the key as many other people have had. I also just recently brought the car to ford for the pinch bolt recall on the battery.

RE: 2000 Focus Electrical Problem
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.
