Hey guys,

Bought a y reg 206 1.9 diesel recently. Had a bit of work needed which I have done (new heater motor resistor pack, new drivers door stay, etc). Pretty pleased with myself, however the clock light wasn't working when i bought the car. I picked up a new display unit whilst at the scrapyard but realised it has a fancier one than mine and I don't have the connector for it. So swapped the bulbs across with no luck.

Any ideas guys?

I have the small one but I have procured the bigger one. Not sure if there is a connector hidden somewhere I could connect to. I will try the multimeter on Monday as I haven't bought one yet but have one at work.

I checked the old bulb today and it was definitely gone.

Any other ideas?

The connector has probably come away from the circuit board. I had this on our 206CC .. had to do a small soldering job.
Down to just the 1.4 HDi. Cayman Green 2.0i CC sold.
