Ford Fiesta - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Fiesta MK 6, Fiesta 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Control unit
Operation: Where is the central locking unit located in the Ford Fiesta?

In this video, we can see where the central locking control unit is located in the Ford Fiesta, which is useful in case we need to replace it due to a malfunction. As shown, the specific control unit, also known as the BCM, is located inside the cabin, precisely behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, first, position ourselves on the right seat, then open the glove compartment, press both walls inward, and detach it from the dashboard. Before removing the control unit, make sure that the key is not inserted.

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.
