How to replace the heating resistor of a Renault Scenic

Model: Renault Scenic Scenic 2, MK 2 - Years 2003-2009
Part: Air conditioning

This video tutorial shows the procedure to follow in order to replace the heating resistor of a Renault Scenic car. You will need a torx screwdriver, a ratchet wrench with extension, and a new replacement resistor. Start by locating the resistor to be replaced, which is located under the passenger side dashboard, near the fan motor, so you will need to remove the lower dashboard panel. Find the resistor connector and disconnect it; unscrew the fixing screws of the resistor and carefully remove it from its housing. Insert the new resistor, secure it with the appropriate screws, and reconnect the electrical connector. Finally, reassemble the lower dashboard panel.

Adjusting the Handbrake on a Ford Ecosport

First, remove the plastic trim at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to unclip it. There is no need to remove it completely; just move it forward to avoid obstruction. Now remove the central plastic console around the handbrake, starting from the rear to unclip it and lifting it until the handbrake lever passes through. Again, it is not necessary to remove it entirely, but be careful with the connected cables, as it can be placed in front of the passenger seat. At this point, notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front side, there is a nut. By acting on it with a 10mm spanner, you can adjust the handbrake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise or decreasing it by turning it anti-clockwise. Once adjusted, you can reposition the central console first by applying slight pressure to clip it back in, and then the trim at the base of the gear lever.
