@@jasonjuggler3457 it's going good thanks it should be done by next weekend I'll make an update video soon. Looking forward to getting stuck into the evo
I know how frustrating working on a car can be, I am now well past retirement, and my working on cars is past and gone, but I do enjoy watching you work, keep it up lad your doing a fine job.
Anything with the dashboard strikes absolute fear into me! Its so bad that I delayed installing a new stereo when I got my new car because I really couldn't be arsed with running a wire from the dash to the fuse box! SO massive hats off to you!
I've done about 7 of these, first tips are under dash undo the red and green cable from that's attached to the heater control that was as it gives movement the way you did it. Otherwise it's a nightmare and you will end up breaking it. Also you can just pop off the stalks behind the wheel, don't need to take off the whole unit.
Fair play to you for taking on a job like replacing the dash board. I doubt after this you'll take in one with all the air bags gone again though 😂 That's why they generally write them off once the dash is ruined.
wow.. good job. I will start to replace evaporator and this video I will share to local service station, how difficult to dismantled dashboard in ford fiesta 2012. I hope going well. tks bro.
Steve I messaged you loads of tips for this weeks ago, you airbag module u got with the dash should reset it, make sure u change all the front SEATBELTS. Module and airbags plugged in, even the airbag light below the stereo Also in the bonnet catch there's a sensor. This should reset with the new module. If not be £60 for a mobile diagnostic to come out and reset your old one
I’ve replaced many of dashes now, I can have them in and out in an hour but they don’t get easier, hardest things are putting them heater pipes back in place around the bluk bar thing, and the heater controls absolutely awful job
I'd recommended getting your dealer to apply the vehicles original asbuilt data to the airbag module. This controls how the airbags fire etc. I've seen variations in the data between years. So you want it match or you could experience some undesired results.
id much prefer crawling on my back and work underneath the car than attempt any kind of interior work. Interior work sucks, fair play for sticking it out steve nice job.
Yes, the module likely needs to be 're-written' or replaced. Many cars modules cannot be re-written so need replacing. Also once you turn the key on with a faulty or disconnected item in the airbag system the module logs a fault and needs to be cleared with a scan tool capable of accessing the srs system. Some cars self test and the light goes out if all plugged in and are good etc but the code is often still logged in the module history logs. Depends on the make of car. I did a Holden Barina late last year and replaced right curtain airbag, both seat belts and both pretensioners and drivers seat (seat side airbag had gone off) and was lucky the module self tested and light went off and didn't need replacing...saved me around nzd $900 for a module
Exactly what I was going to say. I replaced the knee airbag and broken crash sensor on my Mustang, got the computer reset, and the airbag light came back on. Ended up the seat belt pretensioner was blown too, even though the seat belt still worked. Once I got the belt rebuilt, I had to have a shop reset the computer again with his Ford scanner. That took care of it! Good luck Steve! I enjoy your videos!
Been waiting for this one Steve ladddd! But one question champ did you not think to get the Haynes manual? Even for the mk7 none ST the dash should be pretty much the same?
When you run into a brick wall (so to speak) when trying to do something you are stuck on, have a cuppa or even a bottle of water... Get you head back in the right place... A Haynes manual helps loads. 😁
How easy was taking off the steering wheel and stalk column Steve? Any gotchyas? I have a limp indicator which drains the battery so have a replacement column set with steering angle sensor, but never got round to fitting! Cheers!
hello thank you for sharing, I just want to ask you if it is possible to remove the heater matrix without takinh out the whole dash ?(mine is leaking and need to be replaced) thank you
I hope that you can remember where everything goes keep all clips and bit that are salvageable until you have put the new dashboard in fir play to you you’ve done well todo that on you own
there is Steve ripping the dash out and im like nah i will just live with a leaking screen wash as it sounds like too much messing about removing a bumper lol
Can U tell me how much is the wieght of the Dashboard, the Radio and this stuff. Like to know if its good to put all out for the track. Greetings from Germany. Thank U for your great and interestig vids!!!
hello following a crack before fiesta 6 there were three output airbags so I changed all three with the airbag computer. I can't find the airbag sensors on the front of the car. I would like to know how we can find them thank you
If it was me replacing the dash, the buttons would be doing other things. Such as the radio volume adjusting the temperature, the windscreen wiper sounding the horn and the indicators changing the radio station.
You won't believe how your problem with the seat belts sensor at the end of the video was easy to solve , only thight the bolt of the sensor plug under the seat. I had remove the seats of mine alot so that's happened to me ..
Hi did you leave original airbag module in the car or fit the one from the car you got the new dash out of have you had any luck resetting it I’m doing the same job now thanks
How did you put those metal wire things back into the heater control panel? The parts where you were confused on how to get them out, I fucked with mine and cat get them back in
@@Sparkplugsteve Any advice on actually getting that unit out? Seems like there is a lot of resistance and i cant even get the unit out enough to fit my finger behind it
I just watched a video and the bloke just simply pulled the fuse out and put a new one in and he reckons it actually resets it. His seat belt light went out instantly
If a car is in an accident nowadays...if its serious or not they blow as many airbags as possible...this makes the cost of a repair for insurance mega high.. manufactures dont want em fixed.... they want a new replacement sold.... safety now is an excuse to sell more cars... people are clueless if they think airbags are gonna save em in a crash.. How much for three airbags ? rant over...:) Total respect steve for givin it a go.. N x
Spark Plug Steve sorry Steve, didn’t realise the airbags had gone on ONO! Brave man with that dashboard!! Epic rebuild though! You gonna put a wheel cover on if it’s a keyless entry?
Haha 👍 you made that dashboard look hard I used to do them on transits for a living, pain in the arse but easier than weld and beating metal 😉 keep up the hard work fair play
Now I have your attention lol Can you rebuild engines I have good content for your channel 59 plate mk6 gti golf, engine needs to be put back together, garage tried scamming the customer and it backfired I have the car now, injector problem, I would pay for parts and labour, and if it helped your channel grow I could produce broken cars and money regularly 😉 just a thought as second st nearly finished 👍

Good to see you persevered with the ball ache job of changing the dash 😁. Worth sticking with it Steve.
Great effort mate don't think anyone would like to do a dash swap laughed my head off bracing incase the airbags went off 😂😂😂

They have like 45 seconds to install the dash on the rolling production line 😉
Great work, looks like a nightmare 👍
Steve you did well, not to just rip it apart.....very frustrating but you will get there I have not doubt 😎🛠🔧🔩
been waiting for this steve 👌🏻

Christ! Sunshine in wales 😂
Great video mate you got more patience than me with that dash. Would have been smashed to bits if it was me 😂
Nurburgring Obsessed it is not sunshine Steve has just improved the lighting under the shelter.. to help with filming 😄
Hey Steve good video there was a lot of work in that I'm sure your happy it's done 🍺👍
The look on your face said it all m8..I bet the air was blue! No room for lightweights Steve!! Take my hat off to you!
well done steve for showing the real world job of dash change
OH MY GOD !! great job !

A real labour of love.
I felt your frustration !!
very brave Man, i like the video is very helpfull 🙂
Wonder if she crashed trying to fish her lippy out out the hole of doom?
Iso Confused she likely crashed putting lippy on looking in the mirror

Dont bring common sense into my life. i work the hard way lol
Spark Plug Steve hahaha!! Yeah mate life’s boring the easy way. 😂 top vid bud keep up the HARD work 👌🏻👍🏻

Getting the airbag off is the tricky bit. There's some vids in youtube I watched on how to do it.
well done

I changed a dash in my 2006 Fiesta van and found I actually fairly straightforward but yours looks a bit more complicated
Can U tell me how much is the wieght of the Dashboard, the Radio and this stuff. Like to know if its good to put all out for the track. Greetings from Germany. Thank U for your great and interestig vids!!!
I thought the air bag light goes off after a certain speed so it shows they are active to the driver
hello following a crack before fiesta 6 there were three output airbags so I changed all three with the airbag computer. I can't find the airbag sensors on the front of the car. I would like to know how we can find them thank you
Replaced airbags in a 2014 SE hatch. Pretty tight in a few places🤔😞
If it was me replacing the dash, the buttons would be doing other things. Such as the radio volume adjusting the temperature, the windscreen wiper sounding the horn and the indicators changing the radio station.
Hi Steve. Got my mk7 st and have rattle from Speedo area. Any ideas? Does the accordion plastic come off easy by steering wheel?
Off memeory there's a cover piece you pull off and the accordion is screwed on behind it.
You won't believe how your problem with the seat belts sensor at the end of the video was easy to solve , only thight the bolt of the sensor plug under the seat.
I had remove the seats of mine alot so that's happened to me ..
Super 👍 difficile à faire en plus 😜
Peut tu mettre une traduction en français sur la prochaine vidéo ?
That sensor is used for the auto dimming of the interior dash lights. Light sensor. ST3 temp sensor is behind the display screen.
It's also the sun load sensor ford Fiesta's with Climate Control which this one doesn't have so he can probably live without it.
@@chillisauce6079 depends on the config. Will generate a ton of DTC's on the bcm if not connected.
I did this job, and it actually wasn't that hard. Dash has like 8 bolts bolting it on max and rest is moving wires
HOW DID YOU REMOVED THE AC CONTROL PANEL BECAUSE I CANT REMOVE IT AND I NEED FIX THE CABLES BEHIND IT
Hi Steve, I want to buy a Copart Fiesta 2013, all front airbags deployed. Where did you buy your parts. Thank mate, great vid
Ebay and facbook.
Great, thanks, I'll start the search for the painful replacement. Your Vid help explain of course. Cheers
Hi did you leave original airbag module in the car or fit the one from the car you got the new dash out of have you had any luck resetting it I’m doing the same job now thanks
No I fitted a replacement module from the same car as the dashboard came from
@@Sparkplugsteve did you manage to reprogram it or is it a dealer job I won’t be doing a dash job again after this honestly
@@chrisfen6831 doesn't need re programming.
I did do crash resets on forscan though actually.
How did you put those metal wire things back into the heater control panel? The parts where you were confused on how to get them out, I fucked with mine and cat get them back in
Change the airbag ecu as it will has crash data on it making the light stay on.
Yes changed that. Its drivers seat belt causing the problem. It needs changing.
Nightmare job I well done
Steve send the original crashed module to us and we will clear it for you. The replacement will work but will have the wrong VIN.
At least you have saved a couple of hundred quid doing it yourself.
Hi mate how did you manage to get the cables back on the heating unit I can’t seem to get them back in thanks
Lots of hassle. Hardest part of the whole job.
@@Sparkplugsteve Any advice on actually getting that unit out? Seems like there is a lot of resistance and i cant even get the unit out enough to fit my finger behind it
torn between this and eurovision
whats eurovision.haha
I didn't realise that women watched this channel.
I was going to say I found your lipstick. 🤣
You need to reset the srs airbag module which is under the middle console in most cars ;)
I swapped it for a good one. I binned the old one.
Aha in that case it might be the belt spanners that went off indeed! Good luck on the build!
no way i would get it all back together lol
Done the same three times and every single time was a pain reconnect ac pipes to dash vents
Is there a trick to getting these ac pipes in when setting the dash?
you have to reset the module
Can you show me how to remove headlights switch pls...
I just watched a video and the bloke just simply pulled the fuse out and put a new one in and he reckons it actually resets it. His seat belt light went out instantly
Iv just checked the faults and I need it change drivers seat belt.
how fix airbag light?
If a car is in an accident nowadays...if its serious or not they blow as many airbags as possible...this makes the cost of a repair for insurance mega high.. manufactures dont want em fixed.... they want a new replacement sold.... safety now is an excuse to sell more cars... people are clueless if they think airbags are gonna save em in a crash..
How much for three airbags ? rant over...:)
Total respect steve for givin it a go.. N x
Dashboard airbags and module cost me 400
@@Sparkplugsteve An insurance repair would cost at least 2k for this job..... steve mate your in the wrong job :)
@@Sparkplugsteve 400£ is a reasonable price, in italy an used airbag kit for mk7 fiesta costs about 1000 euro (850£)
Why would you wanna change the dashboard too what benefits
All the airbags were blown from the crash.
I can’t put the climate control switch in because the red and green wires fall off when ever I put it in
Thinking about changing the dash on my car only joking I'm not mad not happy with your car just change it and get something a bit different
take out and put it in 4 hours i done it 3 times always remove the airbag first
We're you from mate
Did I miss the crash video?
I bought it crashed. This is my 2nd crashed fiesta.
Spark Plug Steve sorry Steve, didn’t realise the airbags had gone on ONO! Brave man with that dashboard!! Epic rebuild though! You gonna put a wheel cover on if it’s a keyless entry?
What a pig of a job that dash was 😠 but you done it what about Kevin down the road from you I had him to do my codes and lights
k and p? yeh i go there sometimes but i prefer to get the tools for myself and im set for the future
Reset crash dater
Did you just "assume" they were a woman. pmsl
