hi all, just gave my wife the keys to her car, but when started it up for the first time in the dark i noticed something rather odd...
i turned the headlights on, but noticed the interior lights didnt come on as they should. the lights on the window buttons came on, as did the light behind the dashboard clock, but the lights behind the speedo, the lights on the heater control, the lights behind the heated window control etc all stayed off. the actual functions themselves seemed to work - eg the heated windows came on, the dial on the rev counter moved as it shoudl etc.
im thinking its possibly a fault with one of the fuses, but wondered if anyone out there had heard of anything similar?
also, it may help, but we noticed that even after leaving the engine running for 20 minutes, the air was still blowing cold when it was turned up to maximum heat. is this likely to be a related fault, or a totally separate issue?
if anyone can help or offer some advise where to look, it would be very appreciated.
cheers, plezz
