- Fix Your Focus Yourself And Save - Common problem for Ford Focus and other models. This new Strattec 707592 ignition kit will solve your problems. You will need to have the old ignition turned to remove old cylinder. Try lubricating right in the key hole and tapping on key with handle of screwdriver to get it to "jar" the tumblers into position. This new kit eliminates the sidebar mechanism which is the source of the problem for the OEM switch. We can assemble for you with provided key code (you get key code from local dealer). Any questions feel free to call.

Luckily, it happened at home and found out that it is common on the ford focus. Needed to have it towed to the dealer which cost an additional $75. There is a class action lawsuit in California for this problem that I am trying to join.
