Fiat Panda - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Panda MK 2, 169 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Headlight
Operation: A common problem with the Panda 169 is that the headlights stop working.

In this video, we see the common problem of the Fiat Panda version 169, where a design issue causes a tight wiring to melt or burn the connector, easily resulting in the headlights not working. Our YouTuber shows us how it is possible, before purchasing a new connector, to check if this free solution can be used. First, they checked that there were no issues with the fuses. They were fine, so they checked the connector of the headlights, located above the steering wheel (only 4 screws need to be unscrewed), and we see how tight the connector of the headlights is (although the same problem may also occur with the rear ones). We can see that the pins are shifted; we gently bend them, being careful not to let them touch each other - it could cause a short circuit - straighten them, and then put the connector back in place. Now the headlight works. We put the panels back in place, and the problem is solved.

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.
