Help no dash illumination and im clueless

Post by macccityrocker »

Hi folks can anyone tell me if the dash illumination/clock and cig lighter are on the same fuse? as none seem to be working, and if so which one it is as i dont seem to be able to find a Haynes manual that covers a T25 diesel and this being my first VW van im pretty clueless about where everything is. Cheers Steve W...

Check the rheostat to make sure that the dash lights havn't been switched off & then check the dash bulbs. If any/all of these need replacing they are available from MR.B at Brickwerks by mail order. :)

Also check the connector block behind the dash that connects onto the blue plastic circuit board, make sure its not come loose. The van i have had a new dash unit, and it was wired differently, did not take to long to switch things round and get everything working again
