Dismantling and rebuilding

  • undo the two screws indicated by arrows in the second figure on the left on the previous page that fasten passenger compartment ventilation fan speed selector (2) to control assembly;
  • disconnect connector (9) from control support (3) and release wiring (16) for symbol light bulbs after pushing the two bulb holders (13) inside.

Levers (7 and 8 in figure on previous page) are fitted to toothed shanks (14) of knobs (15) so that the triangle on parts (7 and 8) is located between the two teeth of the shank marked by two raised dots (see detail at bottom left of previous page).

To check the correct position of the two parts above, remove the two discs (indicated by letter a in the second figure on the left on the previous page) retaining levers (7 and 8) in position on toothed shanks (14) of knobs (15).

NOTE To replace the glass bulbs (indicated by small arrows in the bottom right hand figure on the previous page), neither the facia or the control support need be removed. Simply remove the front panel from the support and then remove the bulb or bulbs to be changed.
