Clock display not light up + Door Lock Button

[_Tom]

On my mates FF172. The display still works but doesnt light up? Also the door lock button on the dash no longer lights up and doesnt work either? Fucked or a fuse somewhere? My mate had a look and couldnt see it was a fuse?

The fuses are in end of the dash when you open the passenger door. Try there first.

My door lock button stopped working when I first got mine. It was just a loose connection on the back of the switch. Pulled the plastic surround out and pushed the connector back on and all was good.

Not sure about the clock display.

Righteo. Well he said he's had a quick look and the fuses and nothing looked blown. I'll check the connection on the door lock switch then ta nigel.

Clocks maybe bulbs?

 

[Leeshez]

Possibly blown bulb. My corsa did this so i whacked the dash and it worked ever since.

Yeah we've tried the old tapping technique...

If in doubt hit it. Works everytime*.

*maybe not

Bulbs for the display i'd imagine, had to change one in mine when I got it. Dash top off though i'm afriad, just for two pissy bulbs.

Is it hard to do?

 

[bmh.01]

Nah piece of piss. Can have it off in 5 mins tops. Theres a bulb in the door lock button to so i'd check that as well.

There really small wedge type bulbs.

 

[_Tom]

Any advice on how you do it or is it just a few screws...?
