Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Light bulb
Operation: Replacing the brake light switch

This video explains how to remove and replace the brake light switch on a Ford Focus. Once the brake pedal has been identified, it will also be easy to identify the switch that we will have to replace: just follow the metal shaft of the brake pedal to the top of its connection point under the dashboard. The brake-light switch mounts directly behind the brake pedal shaft. It will be sufficient to move it from its accommodation using only your hands after which you can disconnect the electrical connection by pressing with the index finger and thumb on the clip of one of the two poles.

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.
