Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto Grandepunto , MK 3, 199, Punto EVO - Years 2005-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to solve the problem of the seatbelt warning beep in the Fiat Grande Punto that keeps sounding.

In the video, we see how to solve the annoying problem of the seatbelt sensor in the Fiat Grande Punto that keeps beeping. Most of the time, the problem is related to the sensor being filled with dust or dirt, causing it to not function properly. Unfortunately, this tiny component doesn't exist as a spare part, so the only solution is to clean it thoroughly. Let's see how to do it. First, we need to remove the covers with a body shop hairdryer (a regular hairdryer will work just fine) to soften the plastic and prevent any damage to the covers that will need to be reused. Using a flathead screwdriver, we open the inspection window of the sensor, then we clean it thoroughly with a brush, using mild solvents. Allow it to dry completely and proceed with the reassembly carefully.

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.
