bob28 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi, Recently looked on various forums for advice on bulb replacement helpful exploded view showed how to & identified bulbs....ok so far, But, can't see any place for bulbs to illuminate the battery warning light & the milage box. Mainly concerned with battery warning light which suddenly doesn't come on when ignition turn on. Battery shows charge, everything else on ok & vehicle starts run ok. thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instrument pack illumination bulbs shown in parts catalogues have nothing to do with warning lights which are smd LEDs soldered into the PCB and not listed as spares. If the "battery" warning light doesnt come on with ignition the problem is within the instrument pack .

bob28 Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Thanks for response. The exploded view I used as my guide to look into replacing bulbs as starting point. Sierrafery from your answer do I understand that these can not bye fixed DIY. Is there a solution or just get on with it! thanks Bob.

sierrafery Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) The simple solution is to replace the instrument pack with a known good one(preferably with lower mileage as it can be synk'd only upwards). Before that some troubleshooting would be good cos there is a slight chance to be a problem with the alternator or a wiring issue. Unplug the small connector from it and give earth to the brown/yellow wire(carefully to not touch the other pin)... if the warning comes on that way there's the problem Edited December 2, 2020 by sierrafery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
