    Great video thanks. Other ones were not nearly as clear. Strange design from Ford and I can imagine the evil design engineer thinking that the hidden screw will earn extra revenue for Ford due to owners giving up and taking the car to the dealers or forcing the light unit out without removing all screws and destroying it in the process, and having to purchase a new one. With great videos like this, power is restored to the consumer.

    I couldn’t find what was holding in until you mentioned the wing nut inside. It was done up way too tight and getting the angle on it was tough. Thank you so much for the vid.

  • @cadtenchy

    Thanks for the video. One point to add, whilst T20 will do but will be sloppy, the correct size is T25 and is a beautiful fit.

  • @T8m0
    @T8m0 4 місяці тому +1

    Great simple thorough video, just changed my rear brake light after watching this, even saving me time with the size of T20 screw, not having to fumble around for the right size. I had some inner clips in mine (2010 fiesta) holding the whole bulb section in but they were easy to figure out. Top man!! 💯👌

      Thanks and yes you are correct I do run a workshop and I don’t charge customers for the bulbs because they allow me to film on their cars. So it keeps everyone happy and stuff like bulb changes I think everyone should know how to do it as it saves time and money. 😊🙏

    This is insane design for items that are safety related for cars. Making the whole cluster having to come out to change a bulb and then such a crazy design in order to remove the light cluster. The 2017 model i have is slightly different and there are no visible screws to access for the cluster removal. They are hidden under a plastic cover

    Thanks, helped me save some money from having someone to fit it!
    A few things to note for anyone out there:
    - Inner screw: this has very sharp edges so you shouldn't miss it. Our car was bought brand new and first time replacing this so can be a bit tight so took a bit more force to unscrew it.
    - Bulb: there are actually two options you can buy - 380 or 382. Difference is the base/pin - have a quick look around your local Halfords to see the difference. Our car is a 66 plate and needed a 382. BEWARE: I used Halfords and Amazon's number plate "matching" and both told me to get the 380 but this was obviously wrong. Might be a good idea to open the cluster first and check the current bulb you have.

    • @robd9413
      @robd9413 Рік тому +1

      My 14 plate needed a 380, so presumably they changed it somewhere between 14 and 66, but no idea when.

    The rear thumb screws were an absolute pain to get out for me. I had to use some leverage with a screwdriver just to make it turn initially and was then able to turn the screw by hand. Spent way longer just getting it unstuck. 5 minute job turned into half an hour. I made sure it wasn't turned as tight back on. Man what a pain, but glad it's done!

    Hey Taj, A question for you. I have a 2015 Titanium 1.0 Ecoboost with 33k on the clock. I have just found out that wet belts are major issue in the US. Will mine have a wet belt? I am in the U.K .

    • @TajMotorMedics
      @TajMotorMedics  3 місяці тому +1

      Hey there! To the best of my last update in September 2021, the wet belt issue primarily affected the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in certain Ford vehicles in the US, particularly the Ford Focus and Ford Escape. The 1.0 EcoBoost engine, like the one in your 2015 Titanium, does not have a wet belt system. So, you should be good with your vehicle in the UK! 🚗💨 If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! Thanks 🙏🏽
