Espace Switch Lights

[Gurney]

Hi,
My 1994 Espace 2.1TD heater/air control lights do not work.The actual dash lights are OK. The ash tray and cigarette lighter are not working as well. Do I have to dismantle all the central dash to change bulbs. I can't find any reference to these lights in the Haynes manual. It's a bit of a bind fiddling with switches in the dark. Can anyone please help.
Regards
Jim

I'm afraid to disappoint you but it's gonna be a little pain in the rear end of yours with those bulbs. Likely they are just burnt out and need replacement/ To do this you have to undo the whole panel and lift it up to access the bulbs. I've done this myself a few times. You will need some patience then and to figure out what steps to take. As far as I remember you'll have to remove speakers and some screws under them to release the dashboard. The worst thing is to detach heater control cable/s. I'd leave it/them connected and just lift the dashboard as far as it will go, then do the job.
Let me know if it worked out for you.
