Patikol Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hello everyone, I have a 2007 Mk5 Fiesta and I am having a bit of a trouble with the Aircondition switches' backlights. More specifically, the aircondition works fine. However, the green backlight doesn't work at the 3 aircon round switches when I open the car's lights. It does work, however, on the 2 buttons underneath (AC on and Recirculation). There used to be light at those switches too up to some months ago. Then they started sometimes working, sometimes not, and after a while they stopped lighting up completely. I circled with red below the switches that don't light up and with green the ones that do.

isetta Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 on my previous 2007 fiesta (which is a Mk6.5 fiesta in the UK numbering) those lights often did not work but would come on if I hit the side of the console hard with palm of hand. I could never be bothered to investigate further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Could either be a loose connection or the light stopped working. At least thankfully the AC works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never be bothered to investigate further. This is gonna sound ridiculous but this actually worked! In fact, I didn’t even had to hit it hard - I just slightly tapped it on the side and the lights came on! Couldn’t imagine such an oldschool fix would work 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 And people say hitting something won't fix it 😂. It's good you got it sorted without having to do anything drastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
