on the dash i have the electric a/c, the buttons on the bottom of it - are they meant to light up? Also is the hazard light meant to light when you turn your lights on as its very very hard to see in the dark.

I have the manual aircon (yes, i'm a pauper! ) So i dunno about that one... But yes, the hazard switch sould glow red with the sidelights...But curiously doesn't flash red when the hazards are on?

thanks big daddy can anyone else help out with the lights out problem i have?

Yes they do light up and there is a topic on hear telling yoiu haw to do it. If you search aircon+lights it should bring it up, spare lamps from maplin. I did it a few weeks ago relatively easy but over tightened the unit and knackered it. Got a replacement of Mr Monkey and replaced the lamps in that now working a treat.

I have struggled to get the hazard switch out but again it is does light it up.

They should all light up, there's a factsheet in the members area for the climate control illumination, the hazard light is a bitof a sod to get out, its got clips top & bottom, a strip of flexible credit crad inserted top & bottom should get it out with a bit of firkling, bulb's on the side.
Searches on both these should yield answers on the forum.

I'll ask the garage where i got if they can fix them for as I've only had it a couple of weeks
and where like it when i got them.

i have the manual air circulation/aircon version, is the temp bar suppost to light up? its not vissible at night with the lights on and hard to know what im doing, and i cant see the position of the airflow either, so it could be blowing anywhere at any temp .

On a side note, i have been looking on ebay over the last few eeks for a "digital" climate control to replace my outdated one but to no avail, but hadnt asked the obvious question......is the thinf swappable?? and how easy is it?

P.S the instructions for replacing the bulbs in the members area is only for the digital version, not my manual, do i insert somekind of small allen key/ tool into the hole at each corner??

Cheers

Hi Gaza, i used a "ford" stereo removal key to release the unit. Yes, the blue/red segment should illuminate.

Cheers BC, il look into it then, could any other toold be used do you think? any thoughts on swapping the units if i managed to obtain one?

Hi Gaza
I've used a wire coat-hanger a couple of times to do mine. As regards changing to a digital climatic, it is not just a question of the dash unit...there are all manner of sensors, and motors...and it's not worth the effort..keep it simple...less to go wrong

Yeah i suppose the saying "if it aint broke,dont fix it" should be listened to here.

As regargds the the coat hanger, do i just slot it in and pull or something? dont want to break it.
