Remove courtesy light?

Postby Mackie » Tue Nov 21, 2017 9:56 am

Hi all,

The passenger footwell/lower dash courtesy light seems to have a loose connection — jiggling it turns it on again. Want to sort it permanently, but the Haynes manual doesn’t say how you get at it. I’m not going to prod around, so I thought I’d ask you guys first.

Thanks.

Out of interest, did anyone know how this is removed?

I think that they are held on with spring clips and just prise out.

Thanks, Steve. I’ll try the old Costco Card to prise it off.

I've a feeling you can push them out from behind if you remove the lower fascia covers?

Of course you could always read the drivers handbook where I'm sure it will tell you how to do it under the changing a bulb section! But being blokes that's the last thing we're going to do! :D
