After many attempts I found the method in the madness.
The key must be in and turned as far as it will go without starting the engine.
Hold down the menu button, scroll to 'set time'
Set hour, minutes, date, scroll all the way to the end then press menu for changes to be saved.
Now when you start the engine the clock settings should remain as you set them.
make sure your battery and all connections are secure - most of the time the clock resets due to a loss of power from the car's battery due to a corroded terminal.
2000 was the first model year for the Ford Focus.
Press clock, type digits then ok
You can't! Get a different car or live with it!
2006 Ford Focus rear defroster keeps blowing the fuse immediately after replacement
Did you read The Manual?
I have just spotted a 1999 ford focus with 146,000 miles on the clock. Lovley condition, good runner.
It depends entirely on which (factory installed) radio you have. The instructions are different for each one. My suggestion would be to GOOGLE the words "Ford Focus clock" and see what results you get. Of course if you have an "after-market" radio you'd have to follow theinstructions for the suppliers particular radio.
check your fuse and then take it out and then when you reconnect it your clock should say or flash 12:00/0:00 hope that helped
Why is ford clock fast? why clock fast in vehicles
If the reverse light compartment of your Ford Focus keeps filling with water, you most likely have a seal that is dry rotted or damaged. Remove the light and replace the rubber seal gasket around the light to fix this issue.
To set the clock on a 2003 Ford Focus, turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine. Press and hold the "Clock" or "H" button until the hour display begins to blink, then use the "H" button to adjust the hour. Press the "M" button to switch to minutes, and adjust using the "M" button as well. Once set, press the "Clock" button again to save the time.
