Reverse And Climate Control Lights.

[RANDY]

Hey all! Just after some advice on what the likely cause is. (R33)

My reverse lights don't come one when i'm reversing. The globe on the right-side is fine, but I haven't checked the other side. I assume they both run off a general fuse along with indicators and so on?

If they have their own fuse, then i'll have to start checking fuses.

If they share a common ground, i'll remove the carpet and check the other globe.

I guess I really don't want it to be the sensor in the gearbox... that would suck.

============

Other question!

Do the climate control buttons light up when the headlights are on? My window auto up/down lights up OK. The symbols on the buttons look like the translucent white that allows light through, so I recken it should

If it *should*, does anyone know if there are globes behind the buttons, how many and how easy it is to change?

Thanks!

The same happend to me. First the lights on the climate control went dim then none at all, im not sure if you can fix them or not, im going to take it to an auto elec and see what they say

[RANDY]

Oh yeah? That kinda sounds like there is one little bulb in there that lights them all up.... considering ALL of mine don't illuminate, and yours all died together.

Sounds like it will be your reverse light switch on the gearbox. Eazy to find but i wouln't know how much they are! Just go the wrekers and get one for 5 finger disconunt!!!

But my fingers are priceless! ;o)

Cool, thanks... there's a switch, but is it IN the gearbox, or on the outside? I can see a couple of wires plugged onto the side of the gearbox.

It's on the outside of the gearbox, it should have 2 wires going to it, you can just disconnect it and using a spaner you'll be able to get it out. Be carefull that oil may spil out, it shouldn't! The lights behind the climate control do turn on with your lights on. Don't know if you can change the bulbs as it's a complete unit, maybe if you really want to have lights there, pull it out and send it to a electrician! or once again for a cheap 5 finger discount you can get yourself another from the wreckers. Might be i little hard to hide though!!!!

LOL! Thanks again!
