Ford Focus Mk. 3 Hatchback Facelift (2015-2018) Rear Hatch Release/Backup Camera Removal

Instructional video on how to remove the rear hatch release and backup camera on a Ford Focus Mk. 3 Hatchback facelift. Focus ST used in the video, but should also apply for other trims.

Simple, clean, helpful video. I saw what needed to be done and completed the job thanks to your help!

I have a mk8 fiesta st with the same button/reverse camera unit. My boot/trunk release button is broken. I’ve bought a replacement that came with loads of cables. Is it a simple plug and play with the old cables ? I assume it came with the cables for retrofitting

Mine just had broken clips and made the camera unit sink into the handle. I fixed it by just gluing it back in.
Not sure for you. When I took out the handle it had no wires on it, just a receptacle electrical connector

How do you ge the camera out of the housing?

It is held on with bendy wedges, you just pinch that and it pops off. Should be fairly obvious if you have the assembly out.
