My light has gone out that illuminates my heater controls(red/blue strip). Changed the bulb still no worky
seem to have lost my feed to the bulb. tried chasin the wire back but it goes back into the loom. im presuming that it takes its feed from the headlamp switch but just wanted to make sure before i start messing about wit it. Any ideas??

the cuircuit board under the dash pod can get corroded I think they get fed from there, pry off dash pod. And trace the white plastic block that feeds it, disconect it and buff up the copper contacts with a green scouring pad can also fix disco lighting effects on the dash warning lights.

Ah ha!!!
Just in the process of messin' around with this bit meself!
The wire (white/blue in my case) does go back to the headlight switch. It connects into the block the switch is on, and can be accessed by simply taking the dash clock shield thingy off, depressing the lightswitch clips and pushing it out towards the front of the vehicle. The wire connects to the rheostat (dialy dimmer switch thingy).
Hope this helps

Added to my list too, ours have never lit and i hadnt noticed any signs that they should do. will have to have a look next time im out fiddling with the leccy.
for some reason i lose all my dash lights from time to time but switching the fridge on and off brings them back on. think i might need a minor rewire job in the summer.
lol
