Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Key
Operation: How to replace the battery in the remote control key of a Ford Focus

How to replace the battery in the remote control key of a Ford Focus? Let's see how to proceed in this video. We take our remote control and go with the help of a screwdriver to pry between the key cover and the plastic cap placed above the cover (after having removed the key). We lever until the cap is separated from the cover, extract the worn battery with a screwdriver, take a new one of the same size and voltage. We put the battery back into the remote control key cover and the cap until we hear the locking click. We check the exact functioning of the remote control by testing the opening and closing buttons of the doors.

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.
