Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Airbags
Operation: Passenger side airbag replacement

Before proceeding with the replacement of the airbag, it is advisable to disconnect the battery; therefore start by removing the cap on the dashboard in correspondence with the airbag seat, lifting it by levering it along the edges (be very careful so that there are no signs of disassembly that could arouse strange suspicions, perhaps when the car is sold); once the cap has been removed, unscrew the fixing pins of the airbag support brackets, lift it from its seat and disconnect the detonator socket; then proceed backwards to install the new airbag.

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.
