Heater/AC control panel

Hi still loving my 'new' 2002 Trail my latest fishing vehicle. All minor glitches sorted bar one !! one back light on the heater control illumination not working. Have swapped the two bulbs over and it is not a blown bulb. Any ideas anyone ??

No first hand info on these but I would think a broken PCB track, look at the tracks that go to the bulb in question with a magnifying glass, check soldered joints as well, look for a ring around the middle of the solder, Rick

Thanks Rick sounds very technical but I will have a look

Picture of he PCB would be good, Rick

Thanks Rick I will see what I can do

Had a look Rick but can see nothing obvious at all except that where the bulb turns in to place and the wires on it make contact with the solder lines on the PCB the surface is quite badly scratched. Could not get a decent enough photo that showed this unfortunately.

The Mrs has a 2002 3Lt and light on clock etc seems one sided, so soon as I have time will be removing cluster to have a look, Rick
