To replace the automatic gear selector on a Ford Ranger, park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the handbrake, and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Using a plastic lever, detach the trim surrounding the selector and lift the gaiter or cover of the centre console.

Remove the securing screws and any panels that obstruct access to the gear selector assembly. Disconnect the electrical connectors and free the gear shift cable from its retaining clip.

Then, unscrew the bolts securing the selector to the console and remove the entire assembly. Position the new selector, reconnect the cable and electrical connectors, and tighten the fixings.

Reassemble the console, reconnect the battery, and check, while holding the brake, that the selector moves correctly through all gear positions.

Where to Find the Fuses of the Citroen C3

The fuse box of the Citroen C3 in the engine compartment is located behind the battery near the headlamp; to access the fuses, remove the cover by moving the side tabs. The fuse box in the cabin is situated at the bottom of the dashboard, above the pedals; to access the fuses, simply remove a small cover (where applicable). To replace a fuse, use small pliers to grasp the fuse to be changed and pull it out; if the bridge inside the fuse is broken, the fuse needs to be replaced; otherwise, the fuse is functioning. If the fuse needs to be replaced, use one with the same amperage to avoid malfunctions.
