Why is the reverse clutch not working on my focus?

Reverse and low/reverse clutches must be up and working. This trans has trouble with wear in the end cover where the stub sticks out to support the rotating mass, wear in the last seal ring groove closest to cover end could allow pressure drop to the reverse clutch and failed lockup. That should only be on high mileage car though.

Where are the reverse lights on the focus?

Right on top of the transaxle. To the side of and under the shift linkage. The shift linkage is actually what works on the sensor. When you select reverse, a pawl inside the case rolls under the ball in the bottom of the sensor pressing it and activating the reverse light. There are pics of it in there. lol. Just take a rest and keep looking.
