Dash not lighting up, NEW INFO

Post by Peacock8 »

Hello! Got a call from my dealer. I have my car there, it´s for sale. The car has been stationary since mid august and today when he moved it the dash didn´t light up. He said this was quite ordinary for a car that had been standing for a while. Maybe a fuse or something has gone.

What do you think?

Ørjan.

Could it be that the dash dimmer dial has been turned down?

I think everything was totally off. That the dials didn´t work either.

Hello again.

I have personally checked my car now and it seems its only the lights under the air vents that´s not functioning.

Is there a separate fuse to those lights?

Have you looked in the MFD. There is a foot well lights dimmer option.
