instament lights 850 1994

i got the direction to change my light on my shifter but i couldn't find out how to change the one that lilghts up the climate control. The one on the passenger sideis out and it kinda bugs me when i go and look at it. another thing is the right side of my instrament panel is dim. about half of the prm meter is not lit up but the other half is. is there another light that needs to be changed in there also?

    instament lights 850 1994

    I'm no help on the climate control panel, but on the instrument panel, follow the Bay 13 instructions, then change all of the bulbs at once, since it is a pain to do. There are four bulbs in a horizontal line across the center of the instruments. If one is gone, rest are soon to follow. If you have the trip computer, that has two bulbs to light it, and they are different than the four for regular instrument lighting. If no computer, there must be some light down in that section, but I am not familiar with what. Note: if you have the trip computer as I do, you should seek advise on how to disconnect the green plug on the back of the computer. Bay 13 did the write-up on a car without it, and ignores that connection. When I recently did my cluster lights, I was beaten by that plug and opted to leave it in place instead of risking breakage. With the plug in place, it was really tricky to reach the trip computer bulbs and I thought I might wind up breaking the front plastic faceplate from putting pressure on it. Bay 13 shows how to easily undo the green plugs to the main instruments, and they just pop off. However, the other green plug on the computer is a different design without an apparent release mechanism.

    Instrument Cluster removal 850 1994

    Check out Volvospeed Bay 13. You'll need two different types of bulbs depending on what needs replacing.
