Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Third brake light
Operation: How to remove the third stop of a Ford Focus

Before we begin, we will have to open the tailgate of the luggage compartment of our Ford Focus. So let's start by disengaging and removing the clips that secure the third stop to its housing, using a thin but strong tool and leveraging. After that, we will have to go to disengage and extract the third stop from its housing. By doing so, we will have freed the third stop itself. At this point, we will have to go and disconnect the relative electrical plug. When we have completed this last step, we will have successfully completed the disassembly.

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.
