problem #1

Focus ZTS 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission

The weirdest thing happened will driving my '02 Focus. I noticed the radio wasn't coming on when I turn the knob. I tried it again and again. Still nothing happened. It was getting dark so I decided to turn on my lights and suddenly the radio came on. I was startled. I turn the the lights off and no radio. I turned the lights back on again and the radio came back to life.

As if that episode was not weird enough, eventually the radio could not be operated by the lights and returned to be operated by the knob.

Soon, no matter what station I tune the radio to, I received nothing but static. I tried to remove the radio. I unplugged and replugged all the cords and still received static.

Now every once in awhile I can tune in one channel with a lot of static. Oddly enough it was a Christian Rock station out of South Bend, Indiana.

Maybe God is trying to reach to me through my radio.

Or maybe Ford used cheap parts made in China.

You decide.
