HELP! just opens a can of worms in my dash!

Recommended Posts

Thought I'd see if I could get the drivers side tweeter working, so quickly swapped with passenger and still nothing so figured a connection at the stereo, pulled it out and to my surprise, the other side of the sony multi-plug is all the speaker wires cut, spliced and soldered together with gaffer tape on them (most of wich if peeling off with the heat! How dangerous is that and it probably explains why 1/2 the speakers don't work! There's a posting going up on the ICE bad fitters about this.

 

Anyway rant over and whilst I was there I thought I'd pop out the heater sliders and see if I can replace the blown bulb. Problem is that it appears to be a sealed unit! So undeterred I prised the white back off and found the bulb (in a beige/yellow surround) but for the life of me I can't see how to get it out!

 

Help! I have to leave in 2 hrs! I'd like my dash back in 1 piece!

IIRC is just pulls out doesnt it?

 

as for the headunit wiring, i had the same thing with my old 16v, right pain in the rectum, ended up paying to get it done properly rather than f*nny about myself trying to get it all tidy.

You've got to push the bulb and holder out from the connector side. Try using a screw driver and push on the connectors to push them through to the other side.

cheers guys, got it out and dash (sort of back together). Any-one know where I can get the actual bulb from apart from the stealers?
