BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Push button
Operation: Car window button replacement

The following guide explains how to perform this simple operation in a few steps, so as not to take the car to the mechanic and also save some money. You need to take a small to medium-sized slotted screwdriver so as to leverage the corners of the panel, being careful not to apply too much force so as not to damage the plastic inside the panel. At a certain point the keypad will come off by itself. Once removed from its housing, the wire connector must be disconnected by simply pulling it towards yourself. The connection is cleaned and the wires are reattached so that the new push-button panel can be used.

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.
