Climate Control bulbs..

Post by hardwired »

Hi,

Does anyone know how i go about replacing the bulb(s) behind the climate control? Is it an easy job or do i have to get an engineering degree?

Thanks :cheesy:

Hi Paul
Easy job!

Remove trip computer/radio display (or tray depending on model!) from top right of centre console and undo two torx screws behind it.
Remove blanking plate on top left hand side of centre console and remove two torx screws
Pull out top section which you removed the screws from
Pull out radio (cotton buds or kebab skewers are good for unlatching it!)
The climate control unit should pull out now. The bulbs are the twisty jobbies that the dash cluster uses.
