All you have to do to "trick" a reset is the following;
1. The gas has to be between 1/4 and 3/4 full. Not above or below.
2. Start the vehicle and put it in drive and hold the brake.
3. Turn on the air conditioner and the rear defroster.
4. Sit in drive for 2 minutes.
5. Turn off AC and rear defroster.
6. Drive the vehicle up to 55 mph.
7. Decellerate down to 20 MPH, do not touch the gas or the brake.
8. You must do this 3 times and let the vehicle get cold between cycles.
Doesn't have one.

mercon III
I have a 2000 Ford Focus it uses Mercon V. Mercon V is what I use in my 2000 Focus with a standard transmission. I have an Automatic 2000 Ford Focus station wagon and the owners manual suggests Mercon V.
Motorcraft MERCON - V automatic transmission fluid for the automatic transaxle Motorcraft Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid for the 5 speed manual transaxle ( according to the owners manual )
Try checking the transmission fluid.
NO.. it does not have a plug. only the Ford f250 and up do. NO.. it does not have a plug. only the Ford f250 and up do.
it is underneath the battery on driver side on top the differential.
On a 2007 Ford Focus : Just the automatic transaxle ( transmission ) has a fluid level dipstick It is in the engine compartment towards the front of the vehicle ( that's not where I would be looking , but according to the drawing in the Owner Guide that's where it is )
According to the 2003 Ford Focus Owner Guide : ( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used as the power steering fluid )
Focus w/automatic transmission: fuse #40 = 10 amp. Focus w/manual transmission: fuse #53 = 10 amp. Fuse panel is located under the dash on the firewall to the left of the steering column.
The 2012 Ford Focus has a dual-clutch automatic transmission - this is basically a manual transmission that shifts automatically (more efficient, but also much different from your modern day automatic transmission). Because of this, as you hit the breaks, the car doesn't really coast in neutral - it downshifts through every gear. I myself have a 2012 Ford Focus. The transmission needs about 500-1000 miles to break-in the clutch. In addition, the transmission has fuzzy logic that adapts to your style of driving. You will notice that after that first 1000 miles or so, this won't be as noticeable. -Nick
