Fan and Temperature Dial Illumination

Hi all,

 

After my weekend of wire hunting decided to have a look at the Fan speed and temperature setting dials since the illumination does not work. It is intermittent at working. Very rarely comes on. It came on the other day after the cigarette lighter popped.

 

I took the unit apart and examined the tracks. The board was a little tarnished in places but i beleive that it is nothing major. I examined the contacts on the connectors to the bulbs. They looked a little dull. Both bulbs are OK (Filaments intact). I lighlty freshened these contacts. I examinad all of the wires on the board. To my knowledge it all appears fine.

 

If anyone has had any similar problems and that you have got any ideas please let me know.

 

If i find anything i will let you know.

 

Cheers.

Craig

Did you check the solder on the connector pins?

Sometimes there is a dry joint and the solder is cracked making an open circuit. Best to just resolder all the conector pins to make sure it's not that.

 

Is it JUST the air con illumination that's faulty? Could be a similar fault in the illumination circuit as a whole.

 

 

Regards

Pete
