Ford Focus Overall, it feels cushier than other compacts, both in terms of its comfortable seats and its soft suspension. It's fun to drive, however, with agile handling. It's comfortable on long trips and stable at high speeds. The Focus is among the best of the compacts in terms of ride quality and has been lauded by the enthusiast publications for its handling.

Phantom is correct. But finding the resistor pack is not "entirely obvious to the casual observe".

Sorry no picture.

Try going to autozone.com and doing a search for the part needed. OFten they will have a picture of it and that will make it easier to locate.

Autozone.com seems to be having some 'issues' at the moment. I did a basic google search & found lots of useful info - seems like this is a common problem for the focus.

Thanks a ton for pointing me in the right direction!!!
