Hi

Talk about the 406's electrical system, what wires do what, how to add extra functionality, etc.

Hi

I have 2000 406 Special Edition.

The centre console display has started going dull on me, it's like this one:

Do I need to replace the whole central display, or can you just replace bulbs on it ...?

Had an auto electrician out today to fix my front headlight as it failed it's MOT and I have a funny feeling he may have cocked something up to cause this, as it's been fine since I've had it.

The bulbs do go but it can also be caused by a dry solder joint (as has happenned to mine :frown: )
The lights always come back when I flick the display so I'm not that bothered :lol:

The bulbs should be fairly easy to replace
