Hello All,

Just a quick question, is it normal for only the fan speed and temperature to light up and the other side to select the vents not to have any lights?

Thanks

Thanks all, replace the bulb a few days ago but it has stopped working again!! Assuming it's blown again, any ideas?
 
Be 100% sure to get the right type of bulb. One too large can burn the housing it's fitted in. I mean large power, the size can be the same.

If the bulb blew again its likely a faulty bulb. Other than that all you can do is check all associated wiring connections.
 
The bulb was 1.2watt? I will take it apart and investigate, will order a few replacements.
 
Talk to a Fiat dealer. Better to get the correct bulb than have one too powerful that melts its housing or damages the control knob.

You could consider changing the lot for LED bulbs.
 
These are the right bulbs: 1.2w wedge end (push fit)

Finding an LED to fit in there will be tricky as they are generally too long and you wont get the bezel back over them

I had direct replacement LED bulbs for a bike instrument panel. The issue was difficulty finding low enough wattage filament bulbs that would not burn the panel background.

Google and eBay search "LED instrument bulb" There are many types and shapes
