Operation: How to replace the BMW cigarette lighter

The first operation to perform is to remove the cables from the battery to protect any more delicate circuits, to reach the cigarette lighter you will have to remove most of the panels located at the base of the gear lever, as shown in the video, helping you with a plastic lever so as not to ruin the finish around it, then after lifting the panel disconnect the pins on the back and you can make the replacements more comfortably, by leveraging the two teeth that block it you can extract it from the back without too many problems, and that's it!

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
