Title: Flickering facelift climate panel
Post by: Jimbob on 06 November 2010, 15:59:49
3-4 times now, with headlights on, all the lighting flickers on the climate panel.

pushed it in, no change, not looked any further.

anyone seen this before, any ideas?

I used to find this if I turned the panel illumination down to minimum - one smidgen up and it was fine.

Hope this helps

Took mine out a while ago because it was a lot dimmer than normal, the digits are a fluorescent tube and the switch lights are pcb mount leds, didn't tell me much but I assume there's some sort of electronic dimmer built in it that's fed from the overall dash dimmer so not much I could do, replacement unit from the Bay in the end, been fine ever since.

Really?  Thought estate /  saloon had different configs, I Know they did in prefacelift days.  Not looked into facelift at all.

Facelift, there is no saloon/estate config - the system is clever enough to accomodate it :y

I too have a spare one here (probably with latest software on, seeing as it came from Goldie), but again one of the buttons worn.

If in no hurry, I need to see DTM soon, no idea if it will be this side of xmas though ;D
