Heater control bulb '93 VR6

[andybg40 0]

I appears that my heater control bulb has given up. Or could it be a fuse? Is this on a seperate fuse to the rest of the console or is it definately the bulb. Had a quick look and could not see it, do i have to completely strip down the controls?

 

Thanks

It'll be the bulb. I think it is housed in the centre control knob, carefully pull that off (you need to push the lug in at the bottom) and there is a little green plastic holder with the bulb in. It uses light pipes to illuminate the other bits which is why it isn't all that bright.

Have also noticed that the valet light on the passenger sun visor does not work either, could this be connected?

why can't it be the obvious?? It's not a Fiat or Renault you know!

Ok, i have replaced the bulb and still no luck. Also noticed that the ciggy lighter bulb is not illuminated either. All of the fuses are ok, can anyone help?

 

Thanks

I had this on my G60, valet light stopped working, so did the interior light and also the cig lighter and illuminating light. Its not always obvious that a fuse has blown, could be an hair line break. Have you changed the fuse yet?

No not as yet. Although i am starting to think that there maybe a problem with the feed to the bulb as the actual heater works fine. Has anyone ever changed the heater controls. Looks simple enough, just remove and re-attach the cables?
