2003 Ford Focus Trunk Lock Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Trunk Lock Cylinder for 3-Door, 4-Door, or 5-Door on 2003 Ford Focus?

  A: Service and repair operations for the liftgate lock cylinder on 3-door, 4-door and 5-door models must start with liftgate latch removal. The first step is using a file to make the liftgate lock cylinder housing accessible for spring and plunger viewing. After removing and discarding the spring, extract the liftgate lock cylinder from the housing. The M6 tap tool enables you to cut threads in the lock cylinder housing before you install both the liftgate lock cylinder and the plunger. Use Loctite sealer to affix an M6 by 6.5 mm screw onto the plunger after applying it to the top two threads below the screw head. The installation process requires the reattachment of both liftgate latch components and electrical connector followed by a proper attachment of the liftgate trim panel through its screws and visible trim covers. The installation of the pull handle and its screws as well as handle covers concludes the process.
