Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 4 - Years 2018-2024
Part: Light bulb
Operation: How to disassemble the glovebox and replace the bulb in the Ford Focus

In this video tutorial we can see in the Ford Focus Mk4 how it is possible to disassemble the glove compartment drawer and replace the bulb when it does not work, by following a few simple steps that will guide you towards correct management of your vehicle. The first thing to do is to open the door and get inside the car and sit on the passenger seat. Open the glovebox, push the flaps of the glovebox in strongly, as shown in the video, at this point the glovebox lowers; now you see that there are some 10 screws, which need to be unscrewed and underneath there are more 7 screws to be unscrewed. Once unscrewed, take the drawer and pull it towards you, once the drawer has been removed, you can remove the bulb and replace it with the new one. Then reassemble everything by proceeding backwards.

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.
