Ford Mondeo / Fusion - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Mondeo / Fusion MK 2 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Reverse gear switch
Operation: Reverse light switch replacement.

The reversing lights are very useful for illuminating the environment during maneuvers as well as warning any people behind that the vehicle is reversing. Failure to turn on these headlights, in fact, can create dangerous situations. One cause of the misfire can derive, in addition to a burnt out lamp, from the faulty operation of the switch located on the gearbox that turns on the lights when reverse gear is engaged. To replace the battery, it is necessary to completely disassemble the battery and then its support. The switch is located under the holder. Disconnect the two wires, remove the faulty component by unscrewing it and install the new switch. Reconnect the connector and check for proper operation.

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.
