TD5 Air Con Control buttons

I've taken a bulb out as a sample, and I'm off the the local LR dealer tomorrow, I'll report back if I get anything interesting (like a LR part #)

Scotty15 and Battenberg are absolutely correct (did anyone ever doubt it?)!

I purchased 2 x JWH 100070 "Bulb - Dial Illumination" bulbs from my main stealer today - cost £2.24 each (NB I can't find these on the web anywhere other than Rimmer Bros who don't display the price in their online catalogue).

I had two bulbs gone, one in the right-hand rocker switch, and the one which illuminates the little buttons across the bottom (I could live with one bulb being out, but 2 needed attention!).

Out with the radio makes it easier for me (2 allan screws on my radio), then rest the radio on the dash (without disconnecting, so no need to mess with the security code). Then fingers down the back of the dash to loosen the clips for the aircon unit and out it pops. Once out, there are 3 connectors to remove (they're all different so no need to label them).

Once the unit's clear, you can see 2 x cross-head brass-coloured screws which loosen easy. Then the first PCB hinges out of the way (it's connected to the second pcb by a ribbon cable). You don't need to undo anything else, just remove the bulbs with a sharp screwdriver, and put the new ones in place.

Total time 15 mins, job done... Works a treat!

Bingo with this topic guys !.
I didnt have to ask the question about weather the Temp buttons light up, as in my Disco, one is lit and one is not !!.

Thanks to you boys I,ll now be easilly able to fix the failed one !.

Thanks a lot.
Del.

top work fellas - 1 more job for the weekend

I've got my temperature console out, replaced all 6 bulbs but still only the LED centre display lights up.

Any idea how to fault find on this to get bottom and up/down switches lit?

See if this helps??



Also! see if it has been damaged by moisture?

The LCD display is on ignition feed not with the switch's illumination... the aircon switches are on the same circuit with all the other dash/console switches so if the all others are lighting up just the aircon doesnt then the problem is with the unit or it's particular circuit

Next time be more explicit then as you said in your previous post that you "replaced all 6 bulbs" hence my reply about the circuits in vain
