2003 Ford Focus ZX5 4D Hatchback

Description

[Runs fine - was daily driver until another car purchase recently. 2003 ZX5 2.3L PZEV Engine Automatic Transmission Power Windows/Mirrors Split Rear Seat A/C Last major service (ignition coil/sparks/oil/filter/fluids) - 7/2025 @ 100,457 miles Tires - 5 years old @ 81,520 miles (i.e. 20,000 miles of wear) Battery - purchased 1/2025 Pioneer bluetooth/radio installed Smog check paperwork from last required registration available Cosmetic accident back in 2015 - minor front body work paid by other party (NOT a salvage - clean title) Cruise control - not working? Full Disclosure: I just noticed last night that the dashboard has a common 1st-gen Focus quirk where the Check Engine Light glows very dimly even when the car is off. It is not lit brightly as would be in an actual error and is not easily seen in the daytime. I’ve checked it — it is an electrical 'ghost' in the instrument cluster circuit board, not a mechanical issue. The Ford Focus has a special mode to show the error codes, and it shows 'DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) - NONE'. This is illustrated in the pictures and can be demonstrated live.
