Title: Dials only half lit...
Post by: Jaffacakes on August 15, 2014, 19:32
Hi all,

Anyone any idea why my heater/blower controls are only half lit as pic below:-

Was hoping it was just a fuse, but no idea which box or fuse it might relate to.

Cheers
Geoff

More likely a bulb behind the panel.

If you need to take a look, pull off the knobs and there are 2 screws behind (ooo err).

I have this every now and again in the exact same area!

Haha, ok, I will give it a good smack and if that doesn't work will remove the dials and check the bulb and replace if necessary.

Meant to post before, but yes, giving the dash a wallop had the desired effect!
