Consumer Description

I JUST PURCHASED THIS 2005 FORD FOCUS. AS I WAS CHECKING THINGS OUT, I NOTICED THE BACK UP LIGHT (REVERSE) WERE NOT WORKING. I CHECKED THE BULBS AND FUSE. ALL WAS IN ORDER. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THIS SEEM TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION MOUNTED SIGNAL SWITCH ON THE FORD FOCUS, AS THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS REFERRING TO THIS PROBLEM. IF I HAD NOT PERFORMED THE CHECK, I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THE BACK UP LIGHT WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. *TR
