erratic speedo
my 2001 2L focus hatch sometimes has a problem with the speedo , it drops down to zero while cruising , and the electronic lcd display goes blank.it comes back after a few minutes
Apparently this has to do with software bugs?
any ideas?

sounds connected to your interior boot lid button issue - sounds like a connector on the back of the console has come loose - would explain both problems.
have you been to ford about it?

Hi mate, your speedo dropping to zero is the VSS sensor as mine does this, I would take this to ford I think it costs about £30 for the part and whatever ford charge for labour, this is due to wear and tear of the sensor, which I think is in the gearbox.
Hope this helps you.

Would appear to be the VSS, £25 from Frauds or about £80 fitted, can be a PIA to fit as the pin breaks when removing, have been informed to pour a kettle of hot water over the box to make extraction easier.
try a self diagnostic check and see if you get any dtc codes.
