After many months of intermittent/flickering speedo illumination it has stopped working , all the other switches are fine...ideas?
-
Take the clocks out, check the connection to the bulb behind the speedo. Change the bulb.
Clocks can be removed by removing the heater vent panels either side, and then removing the binnacle. You will need to take the air bag light unit out, and the headlight unit (prise both out carefully with a flat blade starting with the airbag unit. The Light unit has a clip on the right side that needs to be depressed to free it up and both are connected with multiplugs), prise the vents out carefully with a screwdriver, and then remove the heater surrounds both sides (crosshead screws). Move your steering wheel down to its lowest setting, and then pull the binnacle forward and out.
Clocks are held in with crosshead screws.
