Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2022
Operation: Like opening the tailgate of the FIAT 500 if it remains closed or the license plate holder does not light up

If the tailgate of your FIAT 500 has remained locked, know that there is an unlock button from the inside. Entering from inside and having the hatch in front of you, you will find it on the left of the closure. Now that the tailgate is open, you need to find the cable connections, all of which are gathered in a rubber sheath ending in a plug that is press-fitted into the bodywork and which requires a certain decision to remove. The main defect of the FIAT 500 tailgate is the shearing of the wires which allow it to open: the problem of the failure of the license plate holder light also depends on this defect. Splice the cut wires together and cover them with insulating tape, reinserting them in their housing. Close the tailgate and check that the problem has been resolved.

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.
