Fan lights? How to replace them.

Post by tags »

Picked up my Z3M today. I took it out this evening and noticed that the fan speed dial (the one on the right) is dimmer than the other 2. Does anybody know how to replace the bulb?


Thanks in advance.

Tags, it might have just dropped out of the holder. If you can remove the radio it is accessible through the slot. Alternatively I remove the two screws holding the plastic panel at the side of the transmission tunnel, they would normally be alongside your left calf. Then gently pull the panel away towards the seat and look behind it to reveal the wiring for the switches. You can see if the bulb has gone or just come loose.
