Title: heater vent dial illumination ? build gone or is it just me ?
Post by: DrAndyB on 19 December 2013, 20:27:07
Hi,

I noticed today on way home in the dark that the illuminated heater vent dials ( for the '0' for off and '1' for on !) don't appear illuminated ?

The passenger one was illuminated and shining nicely at me  :y, but the two vents in the centre, and the drivers one were :'(, were both distinctly black with no visibility of the illuminated 'O' and '1' which was evident on the passenger one.

Couple of blown dash bulbs ????

How easy are they to replace and where best place to get them from ?

Cheers in advance.

Andy.

Middle one is a two minute job, right hand one simply pop the end panel off the dash and it's right there :y

Helfrods, Vauxhall or local factors should all be able to sell you a suitable bulb or two :y

 :y thanks  :y

Any pics or best way to do the middle ones ?  Not quite sure from inspection how it comes off to reveal tne bulbs.  ???

Assume there would two bulbs here and single for the drivers ?

Only one bulb :y

To access move both wheels to O then point both vents all the way up or down. Use a modest flat bladed screwdriver and insert between the vents and the centre part. Vents should pop out, then simply undo the two screws and pull the vent assembly out. Bulb holder sits at the top in the centre, removal is easier to do than explain...

How to is covered under Clocks or Instrument Cluster removal in the guides :y

Cheers.   :y

Probably do passenger one too, as I bet as soon as I do the blown ones the working passenger one will blow  ::)

Passenger one as easy as drivers side :y

Might as well do the one for the rear vents whilst you're on a roll ::)
