Title: Heater control panel
Post by lesterlad on Oct 11^th, 2008, 5:35pm

I noticed last night that I have some light showing along the top of the heater control panel, however I am assuming the bulb(s) have come adrift from the windscreen / rear window switches which at this time are unlit.
Can someone please advise me on how to remove the panel so I can gain access to replace the bulb(s) in the respective position.
I have tried the "credit card" trick to no avail but I'm unsure where the tabs are.

The panel is standard Aircon NOT c/c
How many tabs and where ?
Do the 3 knobs have be pulled off first ?

Thankyou.

hi there

never taken of an a/c only one before, but it shouldn't be too hard. you sometimes need to 'give' it a bit harder than you think.

theres a special plastic pannel fitted that prevents the backlights on the A/C from 'leaking' around the top of the pannel - i know because after changing my bulbs, i was left with it, thinking "where does this bit go ???" lol

Found out when it got dark ::)

Yours may have slipped or be could be missing altogether - personally, im too lazy to pull all the dash out again to put it back :)

Think that's what i've got pinto..........leaking light.

I was going to see if I could fix it today but It's the Midlands meet, so I'll leave it until next weekend now

Thanks for the advice from yourself and scorpio_man
