Xantia Dash Lights

Unread post by tim leech »

I have a MK1 Xantia which some of the dash bulbs dont work, if i give the top of the facia a thump some come on but thers a couple that still dont work. Ive looked in the haynes manual and it looks like you have to drop the steering column and remove loads of bits, is this correct?

Also one of the fan contol bulbs doesnt work and neither does the steering wheel controls for the volume (right hand side) and the bulb doesnt light up either so loks like heres no pwer getting through.

Any advice would be useful.

you can do the dash lights without taking the steering wheel of....if you adjust the steering wheel to its lowest setting you can just get all the screws out and there is room to get the clocks out....

you will never get all the screws back in but i have done it to two different xantias now and neither of them rattled :D
