Where's the trip comp bulb?

Any electrical issues

Where's the trip comp bulb?

by christaylor » Fri Feb 24, 2006 10:14 pm

As I said in one of my previous threads I need to change the bulb in my trip computer. I opened it up and to me it isn't obvious where the bulb is or should be? Its looks like the pic below so any help locating it would be greatly appreciated. And also does anybody have a contact email or address for Ian as I emailed him off his website(abs-zero) and he hasn't replyed and I could do with my trip comp being re-programmed.
thanks
Chris

pull the trip comp from the dash, on the right side as u look at it, there is a cover (or just a hole) u will need a small piece of tube to push into it, and then carefully remove the bulb, saves halving the computer. chances are its a 12v/ 1.2w capless....just like the ****** heater bulb that blows 10 seconds after u fit a new one !

:lolabove: to true! Seem to remember using a pair of very thin electrical long nose pliers to remove the bulb when i changed mine. It was such a long time ago now that I can't really remember LOL. Bought the bulb from Vauxhall though.
