Removing heater panel, plus electrics problems

[stuart_hatch]

Ok the lights are not working in my (non climate) heater control panel, anyone got any idea how to remove this?? to fix the problem

Also two days ago my stereo would no longer go on when i turned the ignition on, unplugging the ignition sense and wiring it too the live solved this (albeit with it being on all the time) Also when i remove the key, the interior lights are supposed to come on and well they dont!! must be a ignition sense problem, how do i solve it!

Tom,

I'm in the same position, but no matter how hard i tried i couldn't get the dam panel out. The problem i believe is the rods which control the butterfly's in the heating vents as they are f@@king difficult to separate from the controls.

Ive worked it out!!!

Get some plyers and some cloth and pull the centre knob out and then use some long nose plyers to get a very small bulb out at the back?

getting the bulb out can be tough, it's well clamped in it's holder and it's only tiny.
It is just a push-in type (not bayonet or screw) and Halfords sell 'em pretty cheap. Just be careful to get the 1.2W version as last time I was in there they did 2 types with different wattages. The other one's about 2W I think and would be a bit bright

Was just about to say almost the same thing, I managed to get my bulb out when it went on my Leon (non climate). I used a short length of windscreen washer hose over the end of the bulb! Worked a treat.
