Lights on heater and console unit not working
-> 206 Problems

#1: Lights on heater and console unit not working Author: dori, Location: New Zealand PostPosted: Mon Nov 14, 2011 2:24 am
    ----
I have a 2001 GTI 206 coupe, 2 litre.

The backlights on my heater/ac unit and dash clock/temp guage wont work. I have replaced the LED's, but no win.

All fuses are fine, and heaters working fine. I can see the clock and stuff working when i shine a torch on it, but with no back lighting it cant be seen any other time.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Adam.

Make sure you've got got connections with the plugs, if you have a multimeter you can test to see if your getting power, if you aren't the LED's may not be making contact properly. I had this problem with my clock and had to bend the contacts downwards

I have this problem but only with my digital air conditioning, most of the time its off, but randomly it will turn all the lights on at night

I assume loose connection somewhere i've yet to take it apart and look

if its LED's your using they only work one way round. take them out, turn then half way round and put back in. see what happens.

Are LED's polarity sensitive? If they are backwards, no good?

YES they are!

Led's will only work if there fitted the correct way round Wink
