Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Tail light
Operation: How to replace the rear light and bulbs of the Ford Focus year 2000

To replace the rear light and bulbs of the Ford Focus 2000/2004 we must, first of all, open the hatch of the rear luggage compartment. In this way we have access to the screw that holds the taillight itself fixed in its position. The screw that we must unscrew (using a suitable screwdriver) is located in the internal part of the light and in correspondence with the fold that accommodates the tailgate (as shown in the images). Once we start unscrewing we can continue with the operation and then extracting the nut from the inside of the body. At this point we can remove the light being careful to disconnect the power supply by unplugging the pins or by removing the entire bulb holders from their housings. This way we can replace the bulbs. To reassemble everything, just follow the operations described in reverse order.

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.
