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.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Thanks David.

[@nickysyddyma]

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!

[@PaulinhoThompson]

Good to see you persevered with the ball ache job of changing the dash 😁. Worth sticking with it Steve.

[@blueballs_m135i8]

Great effort mate don't think anyone would like to do a dash swap laughed my head off bracing incase the airbags went off 😂😂😂

[@JohnCarlyle]

They have like 45 seconds to install the dash on the rolling production line 😉 Great work, looks like a nightmare 👍

[@dixiedean2911]

Steve you did well, not to just rip it apart.....very frustrating but you will get there I have not doubt 😎🛠🔧🔩

[@r53leon6]

been waiting for this steve 👌🏻

[@Wetthewhistle]

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.

[@Connellski1986]

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.

[@user-cs6us5px1s]

well done steve for showing the real world job of dash change

[@nurburgringobsessed5722]

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 😂

[@dougijcw9758]

Nurburgring Obsessed it is not sunshine Steve has just improved the lighting under the shelter.. to help with filming 😄

[@cyrilmckinstry7863]

Hey Steve good video there was a lot of work in that I'm sure your happy it's done 🍺👍

[@CarRambles]

The mind boggles with this video....... my god steve how do you have such patience aha

[@jasonwalkley1306]

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!

[@dawoud8013]

OH MY GOD !! great job !

[@MATB00KER]

Wow what a task!

[@bankpin]

Mate you are amazing and should deffo have more support than you do!!!!

[@medk460]

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

[@alchapman1052]

A real labour of love.

[@Connellski1986]

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

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Thanks I don't remeber the message. But iv just loaded forscan and the issue is drivers seat belt needs changing.

[@ThePianoCentre]

I felt your frustration !!

[@TehhhCureee]

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

[@ManuelClemente]

very brave Man, i like the video is very helpfull 🙂

[@dlugopis2000]

well done

[@julienblanchard8516]

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

[@buddysinsight9834]

I thought the air bag light goes off after a certain speed so it shows they are active to the driver

[@craig28c]

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

[@trbstang]

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!

[@javamahir]

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.

[@CookRacingUK]

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!

[@Sparkplugsteve]

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

[@lukasschafer4300]

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!!!

[@deanmarsh1452]

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.

[@davew1584]

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?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Dont bring common sense into my life. i work the hard way lol

[@davew1584]

Spark Plug Steve hahaha!! Yeah mate life’s boring the easy way. 😂 top vid bud keep up the HARD work 👌🏻👍🏻

[@RobSmooth90]

Hi Steve. Got my mk7 st and have rattle from Speedo area. Any ideas? Does the accordion plastic come off easy by steering wheel?

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Off memeory there's a cover piece you pull off and the accordion is screwed on behind it.

[@MrBigtaf]

I changed a dash in my 2006 Fiesta van and found I actually fairly straightforward but yours looks a bit more complicated

[@billywhizz98]

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

[@nkosinathisibanyoni4888]

HOW DID YOU REMOVED THE AC CONTROL PANEL BECAUSE I CANT REMOVE IT AND I NEED FIX THE CABLES BEHIND IT

Replaced airbags in a 2014 SE hatch. Pretty tight in a few places🤔😞

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. 😁

[@chrome2175]

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

[@chrisfen6831]

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

[@Sparkplugsteve]

No I fitted a replacement module from the same car as the dashboard came from

[@chrisfen6831]

@@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

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

Lots of hassle. Hardest part of the whole job.

[@lewis9605]

Hi Steve, I want to buy a Copart Fiesta 2013, all front airbags deployed. Where did you buy your parts. Thank mate, great vid

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Ebay and facbook.

Great, thanks, I'll start the search for the painful replacement. Your Vid help explain of course. Cheers

[@GiampyCT]

how fix airbag light?

[@deanmarsh1452]

That sensor is used for the auto dimming of the interior dash lights. Light sensor. ST3 temp sensor is behind the display screen.

[@chillisauce6079]

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.

[@deanmarsh1452]

@@chillisauce6079 depends on the config. Will generate a ton of DTC's on the bcm if not connected.

[@anthonytessier1324]

Super 👍 difficile à faire en plus 😜 Peut tu mettre une traduction en français sur la prochaine vidéo ?

[@EinkOLED]

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.

[@trickym5748]

Nightmare job I well done

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 ..

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.

[@sommervillephotography462]

no way i would get it all back together lol

[@Tomskii5]

You need to reset the srs airbag module which is under the middle console in most cars ;)

[@Sparkplugsteve]

I swapped it for a good one. I binned the old one.

[@Tomskii5]

Aha in that case it might be the belt spanners that went off indeed! Good luck on the build!

[@hf87426]

Change the airbag ecu as it will has crash data on it making the light stay on.

[@Sparkplugsteve]

Yes changed that. Its drivers seat belt causing the problem. It needs changing.

[@neilobusk]

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
