Radio, aircon, and MFD removal

[plod]

steve I think i've got that strip of rubber figured out.

There is recess just above where wires come out of unit and into led display and would assume it sits there and supports the wires

Maybe it came glued to it

Got all my bits I gave to the painter back today : clocks surround, passenger air vent surround, radio front, aircon front, and surround that contains MFD and switches

He gave them to me as I arrived at work, and as needed to go out straight away, I rushed and fitted the aircon, and surround above it quickly in so as not to have too many parts sitting around. Came off the job I did and had an hour till next one so put radio back together, but just before putting it in place, I thought i'd check everything was working.

That's the problem - the aircon unit isn't lighting up - I can faintly see the numbers and symbols, as if the light bulbs have blown.
However had it back out, and tried a new bulb ( there are 7 in total on the unit ) but made no difference, plus the bulb I took out looked fine.

So the question is.......is there anything else that would effect the bulbs not lighting up on the unit?
Originally, I didn't unplug the unit, so isn't a case of not plugged back in right.
