Vectra B dash lights?

roosta225

My Vectra dash lights were changed to white ones before i bought it but now the light on the milage display has given up.

How do i remove the dash to sort it out?

Any advice or just a shove in the right direction would be great.

the instrument panel has to come out

steering column shroud

heater vent thingys need to pop out

and headlight switch box needs to come out

prise em out and undo bolts

that hsould take out the dash surround then u got the surround around the steering column

2 or 3 bolts on instrument panel

takes about 25 mins

i suggest checking the fuse for instrument panel as it might be wrong rating

I'll check that when i finish work mate. Cheers.

You any idea what bulb it would be so i can get on in advance?

it is just a fat bulb bottom of the instrument panel

very important

when levering out the instrument panel make sure you correctly unplug the TID/ MID as the connector on the back are fragile and once broken u need a new loom cos it pops out very easily

remove steering column shroud
remove heater vents using this screwdriver / knife
remove headlight switch box using thin screwdriver
undo bolts behind the above 2 things
remove trim surround for dash
remove instrument panel surround
7, undo the screws for insturment panel
carefully unplug the TID connection on back
slide out instrument panel

tips - u might want to remove the stalks when u screw everything back in

if u need any spare bits contact burt150 as he had most of my stuff 🙂
