3M5T-14A142-AB Fuse Box Base Overview
Fuse Box Base 3M5T-14A142-AB is recorded for 2009 FORD Focus. Unlike a simple lid, this base carries the fuse assembly and must align with both the vehicle bracket and cable bundle.
Component Identification
Before replacement, compare lower electrical housing with harness passages and chassis attachment points. A correct match should sit naturally at the engine-bay fuse-box mounting location without forcing nearby harnesses, trim or brackets.
Enclosure and Retention Details
Clean the mating rim and identify every clip before fitting 3M5T-14A142-AB. Replace damaged retainers; uneven engagement can leave the enclosure open to moisture or vibration.

For workshop stock control, label FD02040-008 with 3M5T-14A142-AB / 1223183, FORD Focus and the exact installation area. Keep the component separated from visually similar electrical housings.
Mounting and Harness Routing
Set the lower carrier on its original supports before loading the electrical assembly. Check cable exits, bracket holes and drainage orientation before final fastening.
