Heater control illumination

[gtr-r33]

I've never noticed this before, But took the car out for a Sneaky back road drive earlier and noticed that none of the Heater control buttons are illuminated ??? I Assume they are supposed to be so whats the matter :S Just a blown fuse ?

If you take the panel out, there is 2 tiny screws holding the multi plug socket to the back of the panel.

Remove these and theres a bulb underneath.

I replaced mine years ago, think the bulb was about £5 from toyota as its a specific type.

Bulb wire?

The one i got was in a little plastic housing with a cross (x) on the back of it, one turn of a philips driver and it was out, one turn the other way and it was in.

There are contact points on the plastic so it takes its power from the PCB.

Very simple.

I take it these are the push button lights? For the blower direction controls? Or are we talking the temp slide control?

I mean the bulb needs feedin through the plastic (x) holder so the contacts are in rite place.

Ya just turn it with a screwdriver mate, You literally drop the bulb in, give it a turn to the right, it goes tight, and thats all she wrote.....
