Check the *** lighter works. If no, find fuse.
These radios need two feeds.
Why I'm helping you after spoiling an almost 24Hrs Last person record, I don't know? >
Will reconnect the radio and see what happens, still at a bit of a loss as to what is wrong!!!
The lights for the clock on the center display are not lighting up at all, could it be that the bulbs in that have blown and that is affecting it?
No clock or temperature is displayed but you can see it is working if you look closely and the fuse that powers it is OK. Now flashing to reset the time.
It's dead easy to gain access to the back of the clock, pull up both speaker grills at either side and undo the T20 screws at each side, then the whole top section of the dashboard can be removed and the clock bulbs can be accessed, hope this helps...
Little trick for getting bulbs out of holders as there is sod all to grab hold off, cut thin strip of masking tape and wrap around bulb, good grip then between finger and thumbnail, pulls out capless bulb easy.
One bulb was black,the other was clean and clear, tested on 12V Battery charger, both working, tested in holders.
WTF is wrong I now have no idea.
No fuses blown on car at all, checked every one.
Further testing on Thursday as hospital tomorrow for a CT Scan.
If you mean black inside the glass, then it's fooked needs replacing, filament is burning off. Also not a lot of use if it won't let the light out. :grin2:
That I don't know as yet, will try again on Thursday.
I bruised my ribs checking all the fuses first time around.
It is bloody difficult for me getting at it.
Everything else seems to be working though so I suspect the display unit itself rather than the fuse or the supply before the fuse.
Got iit sorted now, I was looking at the wrong bulbs, :crazy:
The bulbs I was looking at were the safty belt warning light and door open warning light.
The safty belt warning light is a little bit blackened as I do not wear a seat belt as I have a medical exemption for it and it is on continuously when I am in the car.
Found the correct bulbs and they are definitly dead, box of matching Osram T5 286 1.2W 12V bulbs ordered.
Getting quite a dab hand at removing the upper dashboard.
Must get my eyes tested again shortly, its 2 years since my last glasses.
