Good day folks.
1 week into ownership of this beauty I'm trying to fix some issues (mostly electrical). The defrost light is non-functional and I don't know how the switch actually works. I've opened the switch (as attached), the bulb is in good shape but the light doesn't come on. I see 1 wire coming into it - split into a blue and black one attached to the bulb I assume. The switch seems like a dummy tbh but it isn't. How do you even turn it on? Mine just wiggles freely. Hoping someone can shed some light - waiting for my Haynes manual to arrive - so hoping I can get a head start trying to fix this. Its cold out in Toronto. Thank you!  |

The wire brings power and it is grounded through the screw on the other side. If it isn't working, try cleaning up all the metal contact surfaces between the screw hole and chassis. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The blower in the engine compartment should come on when you pull the heater handle all the way up. That is just a lighted indicator for the heater handle function. Clay |
