If you need to replace the actuator for Ford Fiestas produced over the last ten years, from 2008 to 2018, you will first need to purchase the replacement part. Secondly, temporarily remove the cover that conceals the steering.

It is necessary to obtain a torch to better see the internal tool to be changed among the various cables positioned near the old actuator, focusing on the underside of the steering. At this point, remove the old unit with a screwdriver and insert the new one in the same manner.

By closing the covers mentioned earlier, the operation will be complete.
