T25 Instrument panel blubs stuck solid. Help

Post by **sandringham** » 22 Mar 2007, 18:23

I have a 1989 T25 with no night instrument lights; clock. oil and
speedo. The oil lights etc come on its just the night light over them that isn't working. The clock light has never worked since I got the van last June.... just lived without it, but now the speedo lights gone as well and I can't manage without that. I followed the Haynes manual advice on changing bulbs...rotate 90 degrees to remove but they just won't budge the 90 degrees!

Has anyone any idea how I can shift them without breaking the whole unit? Is there something I could safely spray on the back of them to loosen them up a bit?

Any help much appriciated.

Thanks Sandringham

I had to turn mine with a pliers but it came out that way!

couple of mine were a pliers job too, but be careful not to damage or twist the printed circuit, bit of WD40 might help.
