Title: Questions about climate control panel LCD & Li
Post by Pianoman on Oct 20^th, 2018, 7:39pm

My Climate control panel has no lights.

The site says there are three heater control bezel bulbs Finis 1 024 681 (3 off)

I cant find these anywhere. I undone the panel and can see the bulbs which are in a blue holder and twist out, I can't work out if the bulb comes with the holder or then pulls out of the holder. The holder says Phillips 12/1.2

Can anyone help me find a repalcement ? I would an LED repcancet if possible.

The LCD temp display does not light up, I assume this is the backlight gone and I cannot fix this unless I solder on another display?

Thanks
Tony

These fit, I bought some recently - Socket Type B8.5d:

The temp display is lit from these bulbs - I assume you don't mean there's no display of numbers.

LED's tend not to give a good enough spread of light, the temp display relies on good side light from the bulb.

They may be capless bulbs, the one in the dash are, as the dont work you can pull hard on them and see if they come out. The ones Tompion has found are a good price ::)

The one I pulled apart was a capless type but the wires were welded to the terminals but whether that's always the case …...

Thanks Dave and a900one

I can see the LCD numbers and I did not realize the bulbs lit the display, I thought it had a backlight, so yes LED's would be useless.

The bulbs in the link are perfect, I have ordered them. You can buy them without the pastic bit but you need to solder them in.

Thanks
