Instrument cluster illumination problem

[pg200]

The illumination on my temperature and fan selectors has suddenly stopped working. I've checked the fuses and generally fiddled around with the dash but no luck. Has anybody got any ideas??

Also

The boot interior light has stopped working as well, once again any ideas???

Thanks

The bulb behind the fan switch, there is a guide to replacing it on the site, a search should be able to locate it.

The micro switch on the catch mechanism.

Tried to search for a thread but no luck. Anybody know where to find it on here??

You didn't try very hard :P

A search for "bulb behind fan switch" returns this as result one and a technical guide as result two.

Try it - you might like it!!
