Supra_Al Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 .....3 of my climate control buttons do not illuminate at night.The A/C button & the next 2 buttons next to it.Do these buttons get illuminated by a single bulb? Every thing else illuminates fine.Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Martin F Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 There are seperate bulbs that do the backlighting for different area's of the controls. Chances are that just one of the bulbs has blown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Al Posted November 5, 2002 Author Share Posted November 5, 2002 Thanks for the reply Martin,is it easy to get to the bulbs? as if there is a 'strong' chance of braking some thing,then i will put up with it. Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLGILL Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 half of mine dont work too, they are easy enough to change, I reccomend removing the whole dash and upgrading to blue LED's they look fantastic not hard to do and definitely looks fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Yep quite easy. There are dash removal instructions on this BBS somewhere, if not take a look on MKIV.com. Maybe somebody with a better memory than mine will post a direct link later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Mine too, must be a weak point Just give the area a short 'clout' with me hand.....sorted!
