MFA display light

Recommended Posts

On the way to work today the light that illuminates the MFA screen doesnt work any more :(

 

The rest of the dials are all lit up just the MFA one isnt

 

IS this just a case of replacing the bulb?

yeah its simple you have to remove the whole guage cluster though which is a PITA especially if yours has a vacuum tube in the back. The bulb then twists out however you'll need a replacement before hand as the bulbs are moulded into the holders

This is the shape of the bulb (obviously you dont have to buy it from ebay i just needed the picture to show you) its a twist lock holder

The late cars don't have them because they have an electronic speed sensor instead... the search would turn up plenty of info on this ;)
