what should be lit

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

what should be lit

Post by frenchfries » Sat Jul 08, 2017 5:12 pm

Hi all

I have finally tried the inside lights and a few are not working:

I know that the bulb in the rotary switch has blown, is it why this cluster is dark?

InfoCentre is dark and there is not light on the Warning switch. Also, the little white knob that regulates the temperature is dark as well.

Any suggestion welcomed :)

The bulb for the rotary switch lights up the switches.
I replaced mine, the switches on mine are bright but the switch is still dim.

I've less worried about the bulbs, more on the function and dash board remaining in one piece, mostly held by the vinyl! :-)

I just remember the top is screen and bottom is 'rear' fog lights so the middle must be front fogs :wink:

the hazard should also be lit, mine was dark for about ten years then suddenly burst into life (without any input from me :-) ), in reality it's too bright

the info centre switch has never lit up on ours, and when I had one apart I don't think there was a bulb . .. .

So

1.2W T5 for the rotary switch and ideally 0.36W for the Warning light.

Step by step :)

I would like everything to work as it should :roll:
