#1: Mfd bulb problem Author: adamwestlondon, Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2016 6:10 pm ---- Hello, I have a 2003 206 and am currently experiencing a problem with my mfd. Yesterday it suddenly went dark. The bulbs are not working. I put 3 new bulbs in and still nothing. Checked the fuses which are all fine so decided to check if there's any current going through the power bar for the bulbs. There is power running through it so I'm now at a dead end. Can anyone please help me?

It is a bit... 'hacky', however it works... It bypasses these pins completely and goes straight onto the metal of the bulbs (which is where the pins would end).
Two small cables, quick soldering task and voila.
It works handsomely too, now if only all pixels in my display simply displayed...
