Hi, I managed to sort this problem. I did the following:

Removed speedo casing from dashboard, then checked on the back of the circuit board for the speedo, and there was a buildup of what looked like black dust on the back of the board. Cleaned that off, put speedo back in dashboard and its worked perfectly ever since!

Thanks for the suggestions though.

i am having the same problem on a Ford Focus Turnier 1.6 Petrol.

i went to local Ford service and told me that the gauges board it's broken and need to be replaced. but i'm not sure that they are wright about that. i'm not sure what they check or not.

a new gauges board it's ~550 euro.

only in a ford

turn your car off and hold the button on the gauge. it should go to test and all the dials go to the top for a couple seconds and down to the bottom. you can also see different things on the trip computer. hope thus helps.

i have a similar problum with my focus 2.0 with zetec the gauges all drop off like it lost power and the car dies any ideas what could cause that

I have 1.4 zetec engine and the speedo will suddenly just drop to nothing and then with-in a few seconds it sorts its self out. I have no idea why it does it, but it doesnt seem to loose any power whilst driving. Any Ideas would be great help? Cheers.
