Hi Geoff,
I checked your entire mail that you posted in 2004 and I should the defrost button that is also stock but unfortunately I haven’t got the chance to look at it, I will working on it over the weekend.
It’s funny but I seem to have the same or more o less the same problem you had before. Nevertheless, I most said I been having the problem with the dashboard lights since I brought it in 2018 but, whenever I started the engine if the lights didn’t come on, just by flicking the switches on and off or even the break or headlights on then immediately after that…..all the panel/dashboard was OK. Just incredible.
Anyway I will surely try what you did on yours and let you know how it went.
I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
