Xsara Picasso - Electric Window Switch Bulb Replacement

[SteveH1908]

Hi, I need to replace the bulbs behind my Xsara Picasso's air con display. One of the electric window switch bulbs is also out, so I thought about doing that at the same time. I am not sure which bulb is needed for the electric window switch and hoped someone could advise, and where the best place to source on from could be? Also, it is a easy bulb to replace needing any 'special' tools? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

You need these 1.2V bulbs. This one comes with a holder, but you can buy the bulbs separately and re-use the holder.

As for the window switches, I'm not aware these bulbs care replaceable - you probably need a new switch as the bulb is integral IIRC.

Thanks Marc for your guidance. Very helpful. I've seen the window switches available on eBay as a unit for varying prices. I guess the problem will be that the switch may work, as mine does, but the bulb could still be faulty. Got to decide whether it's worth the risk. I've ordered some bulbs now for the air con display. Thanks again, Steve.

I am not sure if the switches would use bulbs or LEDs (on the C5 driver side module they use LEDs). It might be worth looking to see if the switch module can be safely taken apart and the various contacts cleaned.

Thanks for that, that's a useful thought, I'm probably inclined to give that a go first of all. Many thanks.
