I have Felicia from 1995 and the dash board lights from the left side are not working, so when is night i cant see the temperature and the speed. I tried to open that front plastic piece but something is holding it. I am asking can only the black plastic piece be opened or the whole front dash? Here's a picture, the green circle is where the light is not working, and the red are the screws i managed to find. (It's a picture of a another felicia but it's the same board).

You've missed a couple of screws - I've put their locations in yellow, then you should be able to remove the large black moulding, and get to the lights you need to replace.

djaychela, thank you !

I had this problem with mine:

This is what you will need to replace; the little bulb in

The green bit

Thanks guys for the info. I have a few other questions about the replacement because I am not a mechanic , I am newbie like my status in this forum . How can i get to the yellow screws, the left is behind a plastic cap, do i need to just pull it with a help of a screwdriver, and how about the screw behind the heat panel (i dont want to break anything)? And another question, do i need a green light bulb (because the dash is with green light) or there is a green cap which makes the regular bulb (yellow) green?

The screws are just behind small panels. The centre bit of the vents just pops off easily, flat screw driver at the top of it will pop it off and the same with the blanking plate.

It is a standard bulb in the holder, 1.2 watt I think? (Haynes manual tells you what bulbs are in what colour holders), the green comes from what the light shines through on the 'viewing' side

Thank u again. Too bad i cannot get the manual because Ebay is not available in the country where i live ( Macedonia)

Ok, I'll have a look and get back to you later on...

No need of the manual (for now) i bought same bulbs as i took one from the dash (unfortunately i took a working one it was the one showing (i dont know exactly what it's name on english) for the left turning green arrow but never mind i bought 3 of these and replaced and now i can see everything in the dark :rofl: . Thank you again for the info so much

I know this is an old post but I can't see any of the pictures and I have exactly the same problem and need to get the dashboard off? would anyone be able to resend ?

BRILLIANT! 

Hi,

     Anyone got a picture of the back of this, showing what i need to do to change the temp gauge ?

    cheers

Remove the screws marked in red to take out the black plastic cover.

 

 

Remove the copper nut marked in magenta and push the gauge out,

 

Hi all, do you know if this can cause a battery to drain?! I never did get round to getting this fixed on my car - now having serious battery drain problems! mechanic thinks it's the stereo but i'm now thinking back and wondering...
