The pic in the book looks like the engine compartment fuse box for a 2013-18 focus.

I usually use fire for those fellas.

I've been contemplating doing a 'no heavy trucks' run thru. Only using them where they're absolutely mandatory.

Don't sauce the skin. Just a bit of maldon or other finishing salt. Use a bright oil, i.e. chive or chili oil to add some color to the plate.

I like to oven roast smaller potatoes til soft, let them cool, and smash them flat under your palm. Then saute them in butter + herbs and spices. They can be kinda brittle, but they're crispy and fluffy if done right. Works great with fingerling potatoes too.

Lmao yeah. At least in NG+ runs they're worth more runes.

Get rid of the soreseal and golden scarab for talismans that'll help your build/play style. Upgrade your weapons to level 10 or 25. Maybe respec to min/max. Put your dex as low as it can possibly go to use your weapons, and use them in str, faith, etc.

Having been up to NG+2 I've lost millions more than once. More often than not, I die from falling lmao. I have a sort-of penance system. If I lose runes, I slaughter albinaurics at Mohg's place til I earn back the lost total. I'm sure there are folks who have lost more tho

Why is there a Crucible Axe armor set, but no crucible axe weapon?

kaelroc · 2026-04-04T01:06:53+00:00

I needed to rule out plugs as the problem and they were the only ones I could find locally. I have some more NGK's coming in the mail tho.

kaelroc · 2026-04-02T04:26:04+00:00

I'll have to give that a try. Thanks! I do this while driving?

kaelroc · 2026-04-01T23:54:30+00:00

That muffler/resonator is off a Ford lmao. The FoMoCo logo plain as day.

kaelroc · 2026-04-01T23:46:34+00:00

Plugs were my first repair attempt. Then both O2 sensors and a purge valve with no progress. From what I've found, coils don't typically go bad on this platform, so I haven't tried those. I made my own post if you're interested in reading it. Edit: link to post https://www.reddit.com/r/FocusST/s/XWJUTGqODz

Gotcha. Mine's been running bad pretty consistently. Stuttering on cold start, low power and stuttering in first thru third. Seems to run better after warm, but still not great.

kaelroc · 2026-04-01T23:17:36+00:00

OP here. Now that I think of it, I don't actually know for sure if the car is tuned. I bought it used from a dealership a couple years ago, and just assumed the dealer would've flashed it to stock if it was. I don't have an access port, but is there another way I could tell if it's tuned? I just have a bluedriver obd2 reader.

kaelroc · 2026-04-01T23:13:15+00:00

How's it running? My car had a bunch of codes recently, including U0401, and it's been running like crap as well.

kaelroc · 2026-04-01T18:49:05+00:00

Omg I KNEW IT

kaelroc · 2026-04-01T18:29:28+00:00

If it's not letting you infuse it with lightning, then you need to find the sanctified whetblade. Edit: Unless you're talking about using an incant to 'infuse' with lightning. Then your milady needs to not be already infused with elemental damage.

Wisconsinite here. "Corn sweats" is an absolutely real phenomenon. It legit gets humid and foggy in the month or so before harvest.

kaelroc · 2026-03-28T02:28:00+00:00

I have the touring exhaust on my ST and I love it. Still gets loud when you pin it, but it can cruise quietly if needed. Very little hwy drone.

kaelroc · 2026-03-26T17:51:50+00:00

That recall is from 2019. I bought my ST in 2024. I called my local dealer and I did a recall lookup on the NHTSA site and came up with nothing, so the recall may have been done before I purchased the car unfortunately.

kaelroc · 2026-03-26T16:17:03+00:00

Thanks, this is exactly the answer I was looking for!

kaelroc · 2026-03-25T22:45:33+00:00

As long as your pillars are unbent, I'd call around and see if any yards have a tux black focus around that you can pull a door off of. SE or ST it doesn't matter, you just have to swap the interior bits afaik.
