Octavia MK1 dash / climatronic llumination Failure

Featured Replies

Hi all, any advice greatly received. Much loved old shed, I had a bit of a weak battery and on start up one evening the interior dash alumination inc the climatronic illumination (and possibly other illuminating parts) are now not working. All dials other lights etc work fine.

ive since fitted a new battery, checked every fuse but cannot find a cure. I have searched these great forums but cannot find an answer.

Again many thanks in advance for any assistance

To confirm it is all interior control panel illumination. Might be worth exchanging the headlight control switch and dash dimmer switch. I just wish I knew where all the illumination was fed from?

The supply is via the main headlight switch then through fuse #3 (5 amp) to the dimmer control, the output of that splits, one path goes to the "lighting control unit" on the relay panel and that feeds the Heater blower control switch & the heated seat control switches, the other feed goes direct to the various switches inc the Speedo  

That is a very good guide, only let down with it is there are no circuit diagrams, I used to have ElsaWin with all the dealers diagrams,  running on a virtual windows 7 machine, unfortunately after a recent Win 10 update it has stopped working :(

Thank you so much Nige, all sorted. It was simply the dimmer control. So nice to have illumination again.
