jakegti Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 My heater controls dont illuminate when the headlights are switched on. They worked temporarily a few weeks ago but now theyre off and staying off. Don't think it's a bulb issue. I've tried getting behind the controls and wiggling the plugs too but no joy. Any ideas?

Mike_M Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Pull the central knob out and there is a slim bulb that needs removing and replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam-R Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm having the same problem, does the centre knob need to be pulled hard for it to come off (excuse te sexual innuendo) as mine doesnt seem to come off at all ;/ just hope mine hasn't been glued back in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeA Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 You turn it to a certain position, theres a how to and it says in there. but you do have to be pretty firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Werrett Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 i have looked at the HOW TO: Change/Fix Faulty Heater Backlight Bulbthere is no saying of certain position, says just pull which i have tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little rich Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 pull really hard! pair of plyers + a rag over the switch so you dont damage it,pull it like your pulling a black bloke off your Miss's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haakon Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Can't remember if its 0 or 4, but it needs to be at one or the other end to come off. I have changed the bulb on mine like this when I first got the car 2 years ago. Try one of these positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Werrett Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 ok brill i wait see if anyone else can confirm if it 0 or 4 as guide has it one 1 so little confussion on this one for me pmsl laughing at little richs black joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzerman Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Put it on 0, thats how i did it if i remember correctly, its a bugger to pull off! i used pliers with tape over the end! Shattered the bulb nad then just pulled it out by the filament LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haakon Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Found this video, it is indeed 0 that is the correct setting, and you have to pull it with just as much force as little rich says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
