Thread: Dash lights

All dash lights work fine except in the bottom comer where my mileage and trip are, could it be a fuse or would it be a bad bulb. If bad how hard to replace it. It's an 06 STX

I have the same problem on my '05 XLT Cooper. If that how to from the other forum doesn't help, I was planning on making one for this forum during my winter break when I have the time to tear my dash apart and such.

Thanks guys, but I'm not to sure about taking the dash apart myself lol. It probably would not work correct after I attempted it.

It doesn't look too bad. I have the Haynes repair manual too that shows how to do it. Just take off the dash pieces by the steering wheel, unscrew the instrument cluster and disconnect all the wires going to it plus the gear indicator of the transmission. That's the only thing you have to worry about. Then just take off the back cover and locate the broken solder and re-solder it. Then put everything back together.

My air control panel lights have gone out. Would it be a fuse or? The left side started to dull out first then it all went out.

Thanks man. So it's just 2 bulbs that light up 3 knobs?
