Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Replacement of light switch control levers

Replacing the light switch control levers is extremely simple since they are simply stuck through a tab: start by opening the cover shells of the light switch itself in order to access the control levers; once the upper shell has been lifted, press on the fixing tab of the control lever of the arrows and pull it upwards to extract them from its seat and thus be able to disconnect the relative power socket. Repeat the same procedure for replacing the wiper control lever. Once the new levers are inserted, make sure that the retaining tab clicks.

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.
