Light on heater control panel

Post by mariner »

Hi all. So I finally got round to changing the bulb in the heater control panel only to find it's made no difference :roll: Is there a specific fuse for this light? All the lights on the dash work. Cheers

Thanks Steve. Finally got back to this today and yep, no power. Fortunately, have a few extra wires in the dash from my cluster repair kit and have managed to run the live off one of those and hey presto - light! Now to get an LED bulb and new fascia as I bust the lugs on mine taking it off :D

So lights now working but I need to make the new connection easier to pull apart and then refit otherwise removing the dash becomes difficult. Anyone got a suggestion as to what type of connector might work best for this? Cheers.
