Manual Air Con unit bulb replacement - how?

Post by Rhod » Sat Dec 01, 2007 6:35 pm

Has anyone removed the manual air-con facia panel to replace the illumination bulbs? It looks as if it might be the same type of fitting as the original radio unit & when I insert radio removal tools into the pairs of holes at either side it does seem to release a catch. The unit doesn't seem to want to slide out though, so wondered if anyone else has worked this one out already before I force anything.

I'd ave thought it would be similar to the climate control unit, you have to push the removal tools outwards so it pushes the spring catch in, & give it a good wiggle, should do the trick.

Thanks! I'd imagine that they're the same fittings. Just wanted to check that I was on the right lines.

It was only after s.w.blackwell's post that I had the confidence to go for it, had tried before & it was very reluctant to move :?

It moves quite easily once you remember to disconnect all 3 control cables :roll: :oops:
