Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: License plate light
Operation: How to replace the rear license plate bulb on a Fiat 500L

Before you can start, you can choose to disassemble the plate to work more comfortably, but it is not mandatory. Let's start by disengaging the bulb block from the tailgate, using a thin but strong tool and prying. By doing so, we will have released the two clips that secure the bulb block, thus extracting it from the tailgate. At this point we will be free to disconnect the plug from the bulb block. Once the plug has been removed, we can remove the burnt out bulb. To fit the new bulb, we will simply have to follow the instructions in reverse, and we will have successfully completed the replacement.

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.
