Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Side indicator light
Operation: Removal of the side indicator in the Ford Focus (incorporated in the exterior mirror)

Before proceeding with the replacement of the side indicator bulb (incorporated in the external rearview mirror), it is necessary, as should be done for any maintenance operation to be performed on a car, to place the car itself on a surface or on the bridge to work on it in total safety. Once this is done, use a lever to pry the perimeter of the rear mirror cover, in order to disengage and remove it. In this way, we have access to the arrow block, which we extract from its seat, and we can change the bulb we want to replace. We insert the new bulb and reassemble everything following the operations seen backwards.

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.
