To replace the climate control switches on the Ford Focus, you need to detach the panel above the switches: underneath it, loosen the screws present, which will allow you to detach the radio trim. Now, lift the plastic cover around the gear lever so that you can access all the screws securing the climate control switches.

By loosening these screws and disconnecting the connectors at the back, you can replace the climate control switch panel and install a new spare part.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
