ukApache Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 just a quick one: the daytime lights on my heater controls stopped working the other day, but they would light up when I turned on the headlights?? I pulled the "heater" fuse & it wasnt blown so I put it back in and now they work fine again?? I havent done any electrical work on the car recently & the electrical system has not been tampered with much anyway (new headunit is about it). just wondered if anyone know why it happened in the first place and how pulling & replacing the fuse helped. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 May have just been a crap contact on the fuse!! Just think, the money you have saved on an auto electrician can go towards paying your membership!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukApache Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 lights stopped working again today this is really annoying as I have to pull the fuse for a few minutes before they work again or i cant see the settings i.e. whether the ac is on, direction of the air etc does anyone know what could be causing this??? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 sounds like a connection somewhere. maybe behind the dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Mine did this for the first time a few days ago (then went away). I'm sure it's due to a bad connection behind the dash as I was fiddling there the day before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukApache Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 just an update: followed the instructions here http://www.internetwork.org.uk/dry/flick.htm and the problem seemed to go away tbh though im not 100% that it was the re-soldering that helped because when i took the heater controls apart the dry-joint talked about in the link didnt look all that dry. i would recommend giving it a go though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
