Common problems and easy repairs on a 1996 Fiesta
The 1996 Ford Fiesta Magic is an easy car to maintain. Many of the headlights are accessible by simply reaching behind their bulb housing, allowing for reliable bulb changes. Similarly, all of the tail lights are located in single bulb assembly that pries out of the vehicle without the use of any tools. Changing the engine air filter won’t be a problem as its cover pries off easily to allow you quick access to the filter itself.
However, the 1996 Ford Fiesta Magic has its downsides. Changing the front turn signal may be a bit of a problem given that you’ll need to disengage a strange fastener before you can pry its housing out for access. You’ll need to reach down through the engine bay to access the radiator hose, which may expose you to hot engine parts. The spare tire’s location could make it inaccessible in the event of a flat.
