Someone in the cars past history had put a screw threw the top of the airvent housing and had caught the vent wheel I removed the screw then had to reseat the housing the way it should have been done in the first place, I must have disturbed it then, it was the same day that I changed my broken headlight switch, which threw me into thinking it was the switch that had caused the problem... the problem had me so wound up that I keep nipping out to the car to make sure I'm not dreaming  ;D

Phew .........

Alls well that ends well.

Its interesting though, many "complex" failure scenarios are actually the culmination of a number of smaller changes all coming together at the "wrong" time.

My current disaster is a dead motherboard on a PC which is just out of warranty and HP aren't being very helpful. hey ho

Thank you all very very much for this thread!!!  :)

I had the exactly same problem, suddenly the dash got dark.....
Started by searching for wiring diagrams and such, until i stumbled upon this thread, and exactly as this, my problem were solved by just taking a look at rear cig lighter lightning :)
Now afterwards, i know what caused it. Our dog (before she got a cage) practiced jumping in to the front seat when alone in the car. At one occasion she stepped on the vent part and it came loose. My wife put it back and a few days later reported the problem with dash lights  ;D ;D

Again, thank you all for this thread, and all your knowledge!!

Best /Stefan
