Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 312 - Years 2007-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: Where is the external temperature sensor located in the Fiat 500?

In this video, we can see where the external temperature sensor is located in the Fiat 500, which is useful in case we need to replace it in the event of a malfunction, a very simple and quick operation. As shown, the sensor in question is positioned in the lower area of the right external rearview mirror, which will therefore need to be disassembled. To do this, it will be enough to release the internal plastic cover, disconnect the connector, and unscrew the various fixing bolts with a socket wrench. Before proceeding, make sure the key is not inserted, in order to operate safely.

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.
