BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 F30, F31 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Fuse box
Operation: How to replace the cigarette lighter fuse on the BMW 3 Series F30 version.

In this video, we see how to replace the cigarette lighter fuse on a BMW 3 Series F30 version. The box we are interested in is located in the engine compartment, in front of the passenger: we will have to remove the grille located at the base of the windshield, unscrewing the three plastic screws at the base; this way, the grille comes off easily and we can access the fuse box, which has a small plastic cover. This cover is also held in place by four small clips, which can be opened by holding two at a time. Once opened, we need to keep in mind the fuse diagram that we saw earlier on the internet. Starting from the right, it works backwards, starting from 70. The one we are interested in is 66, and by pulling it out, we can see that it is indeed broken. So we replace it with another fuse of the same amperage.

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.
