BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Window motor
Operation: BMW 3 Series rear door window lifter motor replacement

Today we are going to see how to remove and replace the window motor. First of all we have to remove the door panel in order to access the motor. We unscrew all the screws of our panel located for the most part in the armrest of the door (check carefully before there were any screws in the side of the panel). Now we can remove the panel by pulling until the hooks are released so that it can be extracted. Having access to the motor, to remove it we have to unscrew the bolts that keep it hooked to the door, disconnect the power cables and replace it with the new one. Reassemble the panel by hooking the hooks well and finally screw the screws.

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.
