Video tutorial

This video demonstrates how to clean and potentially replace the cabin temperature sensor in a Ford Fiesta MK6, which is hidden behind the grille located in the centre console on the driver's side. Remove the small cover beneath the radio control panel, then take off the plastic trim surrounding the gear lever, and from there, remove the air conditioning control section in the centre console.

Behind it, there are four screws and electrical connectors that illuminate the buttons to disconnect: this allows you to remove the climate control unit, giving access to a "sleeve" (the sensor of interest) that you can pull out, clean, and then refit.

Alternatively, you can replace it by finding it on eBay with the code 394499977905 for £30.00 plus £10.00 for delivery.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
