BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Tail light
Operation: How to remove the brake light switch on the BMW E36

The guide shows you how to replace the brake light switch on the BMW E36. First of all, having pulled back the driver's seat, the plastic protection placed under the steering column must be removed in order to expose the wiring present and the brake light switch located at the end of the brake pedal. Once the pedal has been fully depressed, the red pawl must be pulled out and, using a screwdriver as a lever, the sensor must be pulled out. Disconnect the old sensor from the power cable and replace it with the new brake light sensor. Reassemble it in its seat and close the plastic protection. Before taking the road, check the correct functioning of the warning lights.

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.
