Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Window motor
Operation: Window lifter mechanism disassembly instructions

In order to replace the window lift mechanism, it is first of all necessary to remove the door panel and remove the sound-absorbing coating underneath; then release the crystal from the plastic clip and remove it; disconnect the power supply socket of the motor and unscrew the fixing pins of the mechanism to be able to extract it from the door itself; therefore move the motor from the original mechanism to the new one and proceed backwards to install it by fixing it to the door, connecting the power socket and repositioning the crystal making sure that the fixing tab clicks into the plastic clip. Finally, reassemble the panel.

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.
