Title: Clock and MFA lights
Post by: vwagain on 02 February 2007, 22:36

I recently took the dash pod out to replace one of the bulbs(parking/brake fluid light). Put it all back together.  The problem now is that the bulbs which light the clock and MFA now don't work!!!!  I've taken the clocks back out and tried bulbs that i know work in place but still no lights. There just seems to be no power going to them at all!!

What on earth could i have done wrong?  All i did was replace the 1 bulb and didn't even touch any of the others.

Any help and info would be very appreciated as driving at night without the clock and MFA is a pain in the arse!!!


Thanks,

Stu

Are any of the pins in the socket in the back of the unit bent after putting the plug back in?

I can't imagine that there is a seperate fuse just for those lights so i'd look at the pins

Nope, the plug and the pins are fine. I just cant think what the problem could be. I spent a good hour or so checking everything from fuses to connections etc and cant find anything wrong :sad: Does anyone else have a clue at all?
