jocojohn Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi I have a slight problem with my 52 plate 1.8 Mondeo, but I dont know if its worth the trouble to fix it or just live with it. The problem is the green backlight has gone on the external temperature display within the rev counter dial although it still displays the temp. Has anyone ever fixed this and if so what is involved? Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, John Hi It's a bit time consuming - about 2 hours but straightforward Here's a guide showing how to replace the dials but the dismantling is the same http://fordwiki.co.uk/index.php/Fitting_Replacement_Dials_-_Mk3 Hope this helps Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont suppose you have any idea of the cost of a replacement LCD temp display unit. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintalkin Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 if the temp display still works it sounds like it just needs a new bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
