I have a 306 '94 mod that needs replacement of the instrument light bulbs. They have gradually been going out systematically one by one, from left to right, so now to see the speedo needle in the dark, i have to turn on the roof light.... I tried removing the panel and got the screws loose, was able to pull the panel towards me and see the wires behind, but whatever i did, there was not a chance in the world to get the bleeding panel out of the dashboard so i could change the bulbs. So after trying to put the panel back inside and not succeeding at all with that, I was left with badly scratched knuckles, and the speedo wire would of course not snap back into its place.
I had to take a trip to the garage, and soon the repairman was cursing almost as much as me, until he opened the hood and found that pulling the speedo wire from outside while mounting the panel would do the trick. After fixing the last screw, he asked "Oh, did u want to change the light bulbs?" ..........
So now i still have a dashboard with no lights.....
Any suggestions how to change them are welcome.
