Car Forum / Citroen Cars / June 2004ZX dash lights
How easy is it to get to the dash lights ? Just drove home in the dark and was crapping myself going past the M way speed cams (No street lighting on this stretch). Bloke behind must have been wondering what I was up to doing 20 LOL. Stuart > How easy is it to get to the dash lights ?

Buy one of those lights you plug into the sigarette lighter ;-) Ok, quit joking. Haynes says you have to remove the steeringwheel but it is possible without. Remove the cover under the steeringwheel, this frees two screw that hold the rim around the dials in place. You need to unplug the four buttons on the side. Removing this frees screws to remove the dials. Remove the connectors from the back and the dials are free. The lights are in the litte black squares on the back. Are all lights out? Might also be a problem with the power or the dimmer. Maarten  SignatureWhen replying privately, rot13 the e-mail address > > How easy is it to get to the dash lights ?

Almost all ZX have a steer that can be adjusted. There are 15 to 20 bulbs behind the dash, it is best to replace them all. They bulb are not really expensive, somewhere about 50 eurocent. Don't buy them at Halfords, there they are a lot more expensive. I can remove the dash many times last month, I had some problems with the speed-meter cable. Good luck!! > > > > How easy is it to get to the dash lights ?

Again, thanks for the help - makes me feel more confident about doing it !!!! Stuart. > I can remove the dash many times last month, I had some problems with > the speed-meter cable. Good that you mentioned the speedometer cable: It is best unscrew it in the motorcompartment first so you can move the dash more.

Pull (rotate) the instrument panel on the right side toward, this will give you some space to put your hand behind the panel and release the cable from the speedo meter, which is next to the clock or rpm-meter. Don't try to put you hand behind the panel from the left side, there is just not enough space on that side to put your hand in. You might get some cut's in your hand, just like I did :-( So have a first-aid box in your tool-box, just like me :-))
