Place the instrument panel face down on the bench, ensuring that the panel lens is protected with a suitable cloth or similar.

Note: To minimize the risk of damage and contamination, all repairs conducted on the instrument pack should be performed in a non-static dust-free environment. Avoid touching connector pins and PCB track / components, to minimize the risk of static damage.




Note: For access to the gauge and lower pack bulbs, release the electronics pack retaining clips and pivot the pack upwards.




Remove the appropriate bulb(s), check for damage / serviceability and replace as necessary (bayonet fitting, twist 1/8th turn anti-clockwise to release).
