Dash LCD lights

Post by Jimmybuckrogers »

Hi all

Just bought a 406 and found solutions to 2 problems instantly on this site thank you!

Another issue I have is that all the LCD displays are without illumination -that being the clock, odometer, radio, and info display. I thought it must be a fuse but after checking them it seems not. Has anyone an idea?

Thanks

Si

yeah , i found the same thing in my 1997 estate , clock ,mileage display(during daylight hours ) are very hard to see , especially the clock even after changing the bulb (which went pop )at least the mileage display works when sidelights are on !

checked with dealer and replacement clock not available , mileage display is new speedo (damn)
apparemtly its just "wear and tear" sort of thing

Just following up. Of course, they were all individually blown bulbs, and easy enough to replace.
