AUII Fairmont ghia replacing dash globe

[fernsantos]

There are 4 buttons in the center console above the radio.At night when you turn the lights on only 3 of them light up.The one for locking the doors does not light up.I think it is a blown globe.Is it easy to replace ,do i have to take the whole dash out,do i have to buy a complete new button.Any help will be much appriciated.

It's an easy fix, pull the trim off surrounding the switches off (lever it off using a coin), you can then pull out the offending switch and you'll see the 'grain-of-wheat' bulb in a holder to the rear, which has a small blue rubbery cover on it to give the bluey/white light when illuminated... Replace as necessary.

I don't think GK needs to worry - my tutorials are rubbish aren't they ?!

I had trouble with aftermarket globes making contact, so i had to buy genuine, $5 each globe.

Ford are real bastards when it comes to globes, the ones in the MDC are $14 EACH. I sell em at work for less than half that!
