I don't know where the thermostat is physically located on a Focus specifically, but if it is underneath the water neck on top of the intake manifold it may be a poor sealant & gasket used when the water neck was mounted/installed. Perhaps you may want to refer to a Chilton's guide for the Ford Focus to replace the thermostat gasket and sealant?
Seen a few ford focus with no heaters/wipers etc and it turned out to be a poor connection on the fuse box behind glove box, you can put hand up behind glove box and push all the multi plugs back in. Hope this works for you
