center console lights not working

[shinji112]

im not sure if its a fuse thats the problem because these lights used to not turn on sometimes but if i moved the switch from hot to cold or vice versa, the lights would come on. now they just dont come on at all anymore. has anyone had this problem before? the picture aint my car.. just for illustrative purposes and wishful thinking :p i've circled what im talking about.. but the flash just fkd it up but you all know what it is! thx!

Checked the fuses?

Otherwise its simply a bad connection or blown bulb.

Remove the console and have a look. Not suer how to do it on ur model but you may be able to pry the section out using a pocket knife

yeh i have this in my car, havent been bothered, but is it actually a bulb back there or an LED?

[shinji112]

yeah i think its more likely to be a bulb.. LEDs dont go out that often do they? anybody know what bulb it uses?

[Zdster]

They are tiny bulbs.

well for some reason it started workin again? whacked.. its prolly gonna stop workin again

if it died and suddenly starts to work again, it might be LED's nearing its death.. (happened before to my converted LED dash) but otherwise all in dash lights use T5 bulb, possibly with sleeves on them to give out their colors

might be a good time to do a LED conversion then :p
