Heater switch lights out
Hi just collected my 96 freetop 2.5d auto.Bought as a project so a few faults to fix, so here is the first one. All the lights are out on the heater controls and switches.The dashboard is still lit as are the interior lamps i am thinking a fuse rather than the bulbs, which fuse would it be and are they numbered as i havn't even looked yet.And daft question but where is the fusebox cos i aint got a handbook(are they available?).

& just thinking about this..... There are earth points under the dash (drivers side?), some connected to the metal dash frame... Have a look there & see if any haven't become disconnected..?

The Wiring Diagrams are all on-line and include photo's of all fuses etc.if your making this vehicle a project it might be worth getting to know them well See here for more details (access is free) http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... =3&t=36657

I had to change the bulbs in mine - I think there is a fact sheet by Missfixit.

It's often the case.....bulbs blow and don't get replaced....the manual units need radio removal keys...and don't forget to unhook the 3 heater cables from the flaps they connect tooBongoMTBer wrote:I had to change the bulbs in mine - I think there is a fact sheet by Missfixit.

I have just spent a week with my heater controls out & come up with this....stuc wrote:Thanks i will check fuses first then go from there.where is best place to get bulbs, if it is bulbs and how many are in there, i used to work at a mazda dealership and will get a good discount if anyone has a part no.

But that's another story...!
Three T5 cap-less bulbs.. But, don't replace with led's it concentrates the light unevenly... If its a manual heater control??
You remove it like a radio... & can be pulled forward easier if you uncouple the bicycle brake arrangement from the clip & nipple attachment on the white flap controller in the drivers & passenger foot well.... (Under the hole in the centre console.)
This may help too... http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html
Personally, i think it's too much of a coincidence that all the dash bulbs have blown....
