Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Door
Operation: How to remove and replace the door lock switch

Removing and replacing a car door lock switch is quick and easy, but for this to happen you have to remove the "button" that covers the lock screw. The latter, then, must be unscrewed to proceed to remove the entire mask. At this point, we will need to remove all electrical wires and pull out the lock switch. We will proceed to replace it with a new one, then we will reassemble everything by carrying out exactly the same procedures just described; with the difference however that, this time, we will make them all in reverse.

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.
