Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Instrument cluster
Operation: How do you remove the Ford Focus instrument cluster?

In order to replace the Ford Focus instrument panel, you need to loosen the screws that secure the plastic cover placed around the panel: these screws are located above the instrument panel. Once the cover has been removed, you can unscrew all the screws below, which are responsible for fixing the panel in its housing. This way, the instrument panel can be pulled out and the connectors at the rear will be disconnected. The new instrument panel can then be connected to the latter, which must be fixed with screws and covered with the corresponding plastic panel.

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.
