Radio buttons not all illumination

Trimtechniques · Dec 17th, 2018, 23:10

Hi.
The next problem I am trying to solve on my recently bought 2005 2.4 D5 is that the top 2 lines of buttons numbered 1 2 3 4 5 & 6 on the Raido control panel are not lighting up. The bottom rows are OK!
Can anyone tell me that if this is due to a blown bulb can they be replaced?
I can't believe that you would have to replace the whole unit just because a bulb has blown.
Or am I mistaken?
Thanks again in advance for your help. I am slowly working my way through all the problems, but I am sure I will need your help and advice before long again so thanks for your patience.

Yes, blown bulbs in the radio illumination.
Remove the radio to access and replace the bulbs

You can get 12V grain-of-wheat bulbs from most electronics parts shops for very little money and fit them to the bulb holders.

If you have a good search there are a few threads on here with pics that will show you how.... it's not too difficult.
