The orange display became darker over a year or so, but now it's totally gone, all of it. Can anything be done?

If it is the EDU display with the clock and at the same time the Temp/MPG/Voltage display below the speedometer the problem is probably due to a faulty phototransistor in the EDU. Look for posts from R. Frist here or at

Thanks, but the

forum is now so full that it's impossible to find anything. My saab has an electric analogue clock. The display (when working) can show open doors, faulty lights, check engine, fuel consumption, miles left in tank and charging voltage.

There are (I think) two, perhaps three bulbs at the back of the unit - the dimming could have been one bulb blowing and now the other bulb(s) have gone.
Pull the unit out of the dash and have a look (I'm not sure what sort of bulbs fit it sorry).

Thanks. I also found this drawing in case I need to remove the dash. Not something to look forward to, but I'll see what I can do over the weekend.

Finally sorted the orange indicator. It was only the middle indicator which contains fuel consumption, info and Check Engine.
I had the car to MOT, the dealer changed a 'bulb relay', not sure where it's placed. But now the orange indicator works normally again. :-)
