Just noticed the right indicator light on the instrument cluster is off on my 2010 100HP. Actual indicators all working fine.

Had a good search here and not found much about replacing these bulbs. Not a common problem then? Could it be some other electrical issue?

Found pages on here : /panda/345152-remove-instrument-panel-how-hidden-roll-cage.html

And this on the punto: /punto-mk2-2b-guides/228925-changing-instrument-cluster-low-spec-punto.html
(says I'm not allowed to post full links)

From those pages it seems like removing the cluster is straight forward, does anyone know if the bulbs are easy to get to from there?

Thanks
 
It's likely to be a dirty connector in the bulb holder or an earth fault. Remove bulb, clean the holder and the contacts apply a smear of copper grease to the holder and replace the bulb. Take care to not get the grease on the insulation.
 
Thanks, bulb holder on the actual Indicator light? Would that effect the electronics inside. I'll have a fiddle with it.

Just removed the instrument cluster but struggling to disassemble the unit as it's pretty well sealed and I don't want to break it. I can't quite get the PCB off without removing the needles and they won't budge. But I can peak in and see the lights are SMD LEDs... obviously now I think about it, so unlikely to blow.
 
I had misread the OP so was thinking about the external bulbs. Sorry.


I think what you did with the instrument panel was all you could expect to achieve.
