[Solved] Ford Focus MK2 2.0 Durtec - The computer backlight does not go out

Hello.
Auto bought a week ago. Focus in a combi from December 2006, BP + LPG.
I struggle in turn with the disadvantages that car has (which I counted with the purchase and unfortunately those that appeared immediately after).
The day after the purchase appeared new.
The on-board computer display (such a tiny rectangle showing also the course and tmp.) Has not gone out.
I waited for several hours and continued to smoke.
Reading a forum for a Ford says that this one is so that it fades after 10 or 15 and even after 40 minutes - no one knows why.
But he did not die at all
Apparently something (some module) does not give the car go into standby mode. or something like that. And it can be, for example, a radio,

Due to the fact that one of the points on the list of faults is to restore the sound system to life (only the right front speaker plays, regardless of the balance / fade settings), I decided that it started from it.
I took out the fuse for half an hour, then patted the radio code and closed the car. It went out after a dozen or so minutes (I did not measure).
Unfortunately, it does not go out again today. I'm not smiling every few days to run to the car and reset the radio. And I will go for a few days, my wife can be grounded with a dead battery.
Once the reset did not help it is known that the fault is and you must remove it and playing with a fuse is not a remedy.

Hence, a nod to You for help. I note that none of my electronics.
This is what the radio looks like - the puki has no other ideas, I blame them,


Ps. The ELM interface courier has already brought a tool.
I have connected but no errors.

Hello. You pressed this knob from VOL? This press should the radio go out?

But it is not the radio that burns, but the computer's recorder does not go out. The one in the meter. The radio is dark.

And why are you setting up the radio? You have definitely something with the meter was not dismantled by the previous owner can the counter as he backs it something broke?

I wrote that after the reset of the radio the display on the meter went out, so the radio considers it the most probable cause. I pushed it in to show what radio is sitting there.

I'm not sure if it was buried in the meter or anywhere else. I bought them on Sundays and unfortunately not from the living room ?

That colleague did not check everything immediately before buying? Now he proposes to a good electrician and let him check this clock and connect the radio.

Giving someone this is an exit. Due to the cost and difficulty in finding a professional in the area, he treats as a last resort - hence a request for help.

Regarding whether I checked before buying it, you probably make some jokes about me.
I do not believe that someone looking at the car would focus on closing the car and waiting a few minutes (apparently there are even 40 minutes - in the Ford forum I read) and watched the counter.
There are many other things to check and with the vast majority of them an open car is needed and the engine is often turned on.
I do not see any omission / negligence on my part in the inspection (in this case, because other defects unfortunately I missed despite the checklist in the head)

Try to reset the clocks (disconnect the cube from them) sometimes they like to hang up. The backlight should go out after 10 minutes.

Gentlemen, several times I met with Foce II - the station of the station.

Hi
I had a few cars with this ailment and it was always a guilty one, the guy who repairs these radios tells me that the reason is the processor ... so the repair is not cheap ...

Hello.
I once heard the opinion that this display works so long to inform any thief about the car's progress. It's worth stealing or not? The attack in my case shines for 10 minutes and goes out.

Disconnecting the klem solved the problem.
For how long we do not know but stopped checking. Now only in the morning going to the car first peek through the window and dark so I fall asleep for a long time but sleep so there is nothing to drill further.
Thanks.
