There are no lights illuminating the instruments on my Dad's MB 240D, 1980 model year.
I would appreciate any advice, towards my plan to change two light bulbs that illuminate the center console. I have a wiring diagram, and I realize that a potentiometer might be at fault. As the hazard lights work, it seems Fuse #1 must be OK. That fuse protects the light bulbs in question, also.
Is there a trick to getting at those two bulbs? Or do I have to remove the entire dash board to get at them? Even if I removed the under-dash obstructions, it seems these bulbs are too inaccessible from below, to replace them that way.
Is there some way to remove the clear screen that protects the instruments? If that were gone, it seems I could get to the two bulbs, which project light down upon the instruments.
Thanks for any help.
