focus st 08 skid and engine light on

[rob298]

Hello. Can anybody help me please. I have a Focus ST2 08 and the skid light is on and the engine management light is on too. Also fuse 35 keeps blowing. It seems there is reduced power. I took it to a garage and they changed the fuse and reset it on their computer and it was fine till the next time i started it then it was the same as before with the same lights on and the same reduced power. Naturally he ignored my calls. Please help!

What is fuse 35 for according to the fuse box diagram?

Edit- just found it, AC switch and instrument cluster

When the garage put it on the computer it would have given them some codes - the fault codes. Without those there's no way of knowing what the problem is.

I have the same issue with my 2009 st focus, it keeps blowing fuse 35, i know it was a log time ago but did the problem get resolved and what was the cause?

Found the problem, it was caused by the oil heater in the oil filter housing, disconnected it and the fault has gone, need to get a new oil heated housing now.

Hey I have the same problem, but I’m abit confused on how the oil heater blows a fuse as it would have to be an electrical problem
