If it happens that even when the doors are closed, the interior lights remain on, then it means that the micro switch integrated in the lock no longer works and that it is not able to signal the door closing to the comfort module; this is a very frequent defect in many Volkswagen models, so much so that many after market spare parts manufacturers have introduced a new rebuilt lock at very competitive prices; however, if you try your hand at repairing, buy the new micro switch, disassemble the lock by removing the door panel and then disassemble it completely until you reach the electronic board integrated in the lock itself and replace the micro switch by unsoldering the old one and soldering the one. new.

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.
