BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Push button
Operation: Light switch disassembly instructions

In order to remove the light control knob (located on the dashboard, to the driver's left) it is first necessary to remove the trim molding from the central fascia of the dashboard (in this case with a briar effect finish): it is therefore necessary to pry along the edges in order to release the pressure locks; at this point it is possible to access the fixing screws of the light switch, unscrew them and extract the switch itself by pulling it forward (if necessary, always pry along the lower edge) and then releasing the relative socket (safe bayonet fixing) .

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.
