Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: License plate light
Operation: How to replace the license plate lights of a Fiat 500L.

In this video, we see how to change the license plate light of a Fiat 500L: first, we need to open the trunk, and using a screwdriver, we have to remove the license plate, clean the plastic underneath the plate, and using a flathead screwdriver, we will release the metal clip that holds the two lights in position, which are located on the sides of the license plate. We disconnect the connector by pressing the tab and remove the bulb socket. With the bulb socket in hand, we turn it a quarter turn counterclockwise and remove the bulb, which can simply be pulled out. We install the new bulb (without touching it with our hands!) and put it back into the socket. We reattach the connector and put it back in its place. We put the light fixture back in place. We put the license plate back on, and the job is done.

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.
