Video tutorial

In this video tutorial, you will see how to replace the rear light connector on a Fiat Panda 169. If you notice that the brake light and indicator illuminate together, it is likely a poor connection, or the light connector may be burnt out. To replace the connector, purchase a new one from an auto parts dealer, or you can find a used but functional one at a scrapyard.

Remove the rear light using a cross-head screwdriver; once the rear light is removed, use a flat-head screwdriver to detach the connector from its housing (push the clip inwards).

After disconnecting the connector, check if the contacts are burnt; if the external connector contacts are burnt, it is advisable to replace the connector. Connect the wires one by one, following the diagram as shown in the video; it is also recommended to use connectors to cover the wires after connecting them.

Once all the wires are joined, connect the connector back into its housing and reassemble the rear light.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
