If all else fails break the cheapest and easiest window to replace.

Yeh I'd say smash the glass and its cheaper than a call out/locksmiths

Any Mk1 Focus key will open your car providing they know how to do it properly. So you need someone with another mk1 Focus and someone who knows how to do it. And before people reply telling me they only lock it, no, they also open it if you know how. I am not sure how to it sorry but it does just involve sticking the key in and turning it some strange way.

Like I say I've pulled the door apart far enough so I Cooild get a rid to the door and the boot release button but it's dead locked so door won't open and the boot release didn't work

Benni would you care to shear the info in what to do via PM?

Smash one of the front windows, quickest and easiest option. Seen the aa have to do this before at central day.

if you knacker the driver's door and/or window and it's a 3 door focus, i've got a door and a window you can have FOC if you want

Pull the door back abit with out bending it and use a coat hanger

marky_g

Pulling door back has not worked

The Underdog

take out the high centre brake light, find the wire that goes to boot lock and put 12v to it and bingo.

anthony lea

bend a rear door and use something to rotate the rear window winder enough to get your arm in and open the door then fold the seat down?

The Underdog

no need to damage car bending doors just do what i said bout taking brake light out.

anthony lea

Doesn't damage it. That's what the AA did on mine when i did exactly the same thing...

anthony lea

You don't need to bend enough to crease, just a couple of cm's and then wedge it...

As underdog said, I did this years ago in 2002 Mondeo. The RAC did this, they went in to the gap between the body and the tailgate, they pulled the rubber cover that the wires run through out of the body then probed the wires with a live feed. If I remember rightly there were two orange wires and it was one of those.

marky_g

It's 2 door

marky_g

This is what I'm trying now wiring diagram says it should be black yellow but I can only see black oranges there

marky_g

Looking at my wiring diagram oranges are not part of the central locking system so it's possibly a black orange not a lot of room tho lol

As said.best way is through the brake light.from memory its the white one with the green trace

anthony lea

The tapping into the boot loom through the 3rrd brake light is supposedly only possible on early mk1s, later ones were modified to get by the security loophole!

marky_g

Yer piece if metal there but I've managed to get to the wires still just can't find a black yellow

Thats interesting about undoing the high level brake light and powering the wire up.

robp-tt

iTrader: (1)

Its not a black and yellow one.think its whute and green

Now I think about it im sure there was only the 2 wires for the high level brake light on the wifes 53 reg focus.

marky_g

Yer white green is a possibility as it's a feed from the tailgate switch

marky_g

Yer they are the looms to the right behind some metal

The Underdog

yeh true but some people bend to much lol

marky_g

Only works if it ain't dead locked

Benni

I honestly don't know how to do it or I would. Someone on here will know how to do it I just happen to know it can be done but now how. Once you know it's easy if you know what I mean Sorry mate. It's damage free too.

Did you manage to get in? I managed to lock my only key in the boot while my focus was dead locked. I was impressed by how secure the car was. I got the RAC out and his method was remove reverse sensor and backfeed 12v which powers up the electric windows. Wedge/Airbag in drivers door, stick to wind window down. Unfortunately I have a saloon so the seat release for back seats is in the boot not accessible from back of car. He then fed 12v to the boot release wire which was under the back n/s seat.

Popping the middle brake light out seems easiest way to go. Or find a friend in the RAC with cover on any car to say they were driving and have locked keys in there (worked for me).

Wizhunter

If you can get access to the car can't you just take your back seats down and reach into the boot ?

DKOE

Don't you just hate it when the threadbearer doesn't post the end result!!!

xenton

Sorry about that. Happened just as I was going on holiday, forgot to post back.
Got the RAC out via a family member. They used a wedge and air bag on the drivers door. Removed reverse sensor from gearbox and fed 12v in which powered up electric windows. Pressed switch with stick. Climbed in drivers window. Wiring loom to boot was accessed from under rear seat and 12v to the boot release.

Removing center brake light would be easier but, this way less risk of damage.

marky_g

Yes it did work lol

Had a mear pulling the wires through colours were diff too being at 05 but I found it eventually lol
