Hi there, I've just purchased a Ford Focus diesel estate MK3. Titanium Within the centre armrest storage area (between the 2 front seats), there is a USB and Aux in socket bay. The USB port seems to be wrecked. Can you get a replacement part for this, does anyone know? Thanks.

Sorry should have said, the USB socket is within the centre console storage area.

You would need to buy the entire unit as that USB port is connected to a fly wire which they actually unplug to then connect to a computer to perform system updates.

Can you dismantle the USB port at all and see the wiring connections? It may be a broken solder joint if the USB port just doesn't work but is physically OK.

Thanks for the replies. I've discovered that this part is called the 'media hub' and there are parts available but not sure if this is the plastic cover rather than electronic connection. I can't see a way of removing the hub but will unscrew the whole centre console and see if I can fix with a solder which is probably cheaper.

In what way does it "not
work"? Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

The hub is the little black box that contains the usb port, sd card port and if you're lucky the rca inputs. Connected to the back of that is another usb type lead which is also used for software updates. Its a little bit like an OTG cable I guess.

Thanks Have removed the plastic plate and the usb connection is broken. I think someone has forced a plug into it and mangled the connection at some point. There is a Line In socket for audio next to it which is probably fine. I guess I need a new lead but it doesnt look standard. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Hm. Looking at that makes me want to get my repair kit out and straighten it! Alternatively if a replacement is expensive / hard to come by and if you're reasonably skilled with a soldering iron, you could just replace the female USB socket. Just cut the cable with a tail left on the old socket. Strip the tail and check the wire colours on it the just copy for the new socket. Should only be 4 wires.

Slight issue though. The port is moulded into the plastic so that it marries with the trim that sits on top.

Ah I see. That is a slight issue and not remediable with a soldering iron (which is about the only thing I have any skill with =))

I'll have a look at my USB port tomorrow if I get a chance and see if there is anything I can recommend [emoji106] Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

Can you fix a car USB port?Using the needle or sharp-edged object, pull up the two pins you spot, but do so gently in an upward direction. That should tighten the USB port properly. Often though, an easy solution to fixing USB ports that aren't functioning properly is to switch off your engine and simply turn it back on.
How do I play music from my 2014 Ford Focus with USB?Connect the music player you want to use to your Ford audio system. Select the desired source (USB, iPod or Bluetooth) by pressing the 'AUX' button repeatedly until you see it displayed, or use voice command and the device you selected will automatically begin playback.
What fuse is in a car USB port?All you would need is a 2 or 3 amp fuse.
