Title: Two quick questions
Post by: bighed on 07 November 2008, 23:00:55
Hi guys, as above two questions, easiest one is what does the grid on the back side window(s) that says alarm in middle do?  :-/ there is two little sensors at either end too.

Next 1, i have got some bulbs that have gone on my climate control panel.  :( Anyone know the vaux code for these and how i remove the trim panel?

Oh and a pic of the reverse of one so can see just how many bulbs have blown would be a bonus..... ::)

Thanks in advance. Jon  :y :y :y

To remove climate panel...remove stereo...remove ashtray (unclip the ash tray itself giving access to the 3 screws holding it in place) then carefully reach into the stereo hole and up behind the wiring after a bit of searching you will find a thick solid metal bar...it pulls downwards to release the centre console bit...you can then access back of the climate controle :)

Ultrasonics wont work if you have the load net or a dog guard fitted so break glass detectors help protect the load area.

Glass break sensors.

5 bulbs in climate panel - 3 for backlights, 2 for illumination of buttons via lightguides. Auto indicator is LED, and reliable.  Change all 5 together, about £1 each from stealer iirc. Slightly cheaper from Farnells, but min £30 order. Forget the eGay.
