Replacing Temp & Fan Switch Bulbs

Instructions

1. Pull off the 3 knobs which control the temperature, fan speed and blower direction
2. Remove the oblong fascia panel behind, which clips in place.
3. Now the bulbs simply pull out, and the new ones push in.

Notes

Recovering a detached bulb holder from behind the panel

The panel was originally designed to have the bulbs changed from the back - the bulb holders would simply pop out to give access to the bulb, and snap back in. For this reason there’s a good chance of pushing the holder off its seat while inserting the bulb and losing the whole thing behind the dash. If this has already happened - here’s a way round it - It calls for a bit of keyhole surgery:

• Drill a small hole adjacent to the bulb holder
• Using a piece of piano wire, its quite easy to clip them back in place.
• The same piece of wire will hold them in position while replacing the bulb.
