hello i changed a bulb in my heated passenger seat switch and plugged it back in and smoke started coming from the back of my headlight switch and since then none of the lights work now when i switch the headlights on(heated seats,ac,etc...speedo lights)but yet the handbrake,green headlight light,flasher(full beam)illuminate as they should ::)i've checked all the fuses and not one of them have blown!!
can anyone help me please??
so basically all the illumination thats switched on at night do not work :'(
-
The headlight switch does the dimming, so maybe that has blown?
Was it a genuine bulb you installed?
or LED's ?
-
standard one!!so do i need to buy a new switch do you think?????
-
Aye most likely just a case of changing the headlight switch over. If you can too, try source another heated seat switch instead of just changing the bulb again, as it sounds more likely there was a short somewhere...

few breakers around here, also often on ebay, or the breakers here.
Make sure you get the either HID or Non HID one as appropriate :y
lever it out, see if it looks knackered first, 2 slim knives, or credit cards work well.

i'll give it a try :y
thanks for your help fella's :y
-
i've took the switch out and it looks like brand new and took it apart to check circuits and they look ok too!!
i'll get a new switch and give it a go :y :y
cheers again :y :)
