Ford Fiesta - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 5, MK V, MK 5 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Interior blower
Operation: How to replace the cabin fan resistor in a Ford Fiesta.

In this video tutorial, we can see how it is possible to replace the cabin fan resistor in a Ford Fiesta: if the cabin fan is not working properly, try replacing the resistor; to do this, you need to remove the glove compartment and take it out of its housing (open the drawer and press the sides inward to release it, at this point the drawer will lower down). Now you will be able to see the fuses; you need to go towards the resistor (it is inserted at the base of the duct where the air passes to cool it). Unscrew the two Torx screws (everything will come out, attachment plus resistor); gently remove the attachment, insert the connector all the way, and then gently insert the resistor into its housing, then tighten the two Torx screws. Reassemble the glove compartment.

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.
