Heater control illumination W208

[novaya_zemla]

Hi - My CLK Conv has lost the lighting around the right hand heater distribution control and the right hand heater thumb wheel. Is this an easy job to tackle myself? I suspect that the rotary knobs just pull off but what next...?

There is a HOWTO for this with some pics if you search

No pics though but it should do the trick

There are definitely some pics somewhere, the HOWTO is for a W210 but it's the same unit as 202 and 208. I will have a look in a bit

Disaster.... I removed the rotary dial and replaced the bulb with no problems at all. But when I pushed the rotary knob back on something broke and now I cannot select any other setting and the knob just falls out FFS!.... Always two steps forward three steps back.

Any suggestions? Do I top myself now or later because I'm feeling mighty pi**ed off at the moment?

OK - Radio out, hand up the back and something is definately loose - I am hoping to line the various holes up and replace the knob.....TBC

Nah.. Doesn't work - I'm not sure that anything is actully broken but just come loose around the back.

How do I get to the heater control box?
