Jeep Cherokee - Video tutorial

Model: Jeep Cherokee MK 4, KK - Years 2008-2012
Part: Central tunnel
Operation: Replacement of the gear selector bulb on the Jeep Cherokee.

Let's see how to replace the bulb that illuminates the gear selector on the Jeep Cherokee automatic transmission. Using a flathead screwdriver, we pry the edge of the frame around the gear selector lever, release it from its clips, and rotate it upwards to disconnect the electrical connector of the traction selector and completely free the frame. This gives us access to the area under the selector where we will find the bulb holder that we will release with a slight rotation. We can then remove the burnt-out bulb and replace it with a new one, perhaps of the high-efficiency type.

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.
