What sort of help? If your instrument lights are dim/off with the lights switched on try turning the trip reset as that's where you adjust the brightness. Took me a while to find out as well.

PS: Hello and welcome. :)

So you have the instrument lights back now all working, and the only fault now that was not mentioned before is that the heated rear window switch does not work sometimes, or is it the back lighting that is not working sometimes

The only thing that I know then is to check the tiny red fuse on the rear of the cluster, rated at 1 amp

You have to pull or push the cluster out, and it is on the rear

You cabt see it until you have pulled out the cluster.

Its on the rear of the cluster, on the left hand side as you look at the front of the car.

You need to loosen the speedo cable, then remove it, and another large connector from the rear of the cluster.

I did it - cant be difficult then.
