Operation: How to replace the windshield washer reservoir in the Ford Escape?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the windshield washer reservoir in the Ford Escape. First of all, let's open the hood, then unscrew the two bolts located on the edge of the grille with a 10mm socket wrench. Next, remove the clips inside the wheel arches, unscrew the additional bolts, and disconnect the connectors of the fog lights. At this point, we can detach the bumper from the frame, remove the washer pump, and disassemble the liquid reservoir. To install the replacement and reassemble everything, simply follow the reverse procedure.

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.
