can anyone please,please help me????????
it all started when i decided to change all my control switches to 'blue'l e d style-i have been buying the switches from ebay with no problems,until now-i replaced the rear heated window swicth with a'blue'one......and nothing happened!so i put my origanal one back in-that doesn't work now either??????i have checked the fuse in the fuse box(under dash)but all fuses are ok.i have tried numerous switches since and nothing-WHATS WRONG?????also having been speaking to loads of people about this i find out that my heater control display is supposed to light up!!!but mine doesn't!!also i find out that i should have more lights on the dash display when i turn the key(bulb check for example)
my calibra is a 1993/4 se-origanaly an 8v,is there a differance in elctronic display speck(apart from digital clock+air con+extra fog switches)?

Not wishing to state the obvious here...but you have turned the engine on? just the Calibra heated rear window only works with the engine running

and yes the 8V did not have all the check lights that the 16v has...cant remember which but things like water and oil level spring to mind

well there is a relay (cant remember where)as the heated rear window is on a timer (only stays on for 15 mins IIRC)

will have a look as I think I have a relay location diagram somewhere

guess what???????i sorted it!the problem was.....when i replaced the switches,i must of puched the 'new'switch in to hard and pushed the 'wiring; plugs back!so the switch wasn't making a complete connection-after getting realy anoyed with this not working properly,i stripped the dash...and there it was staring me in the face-what a plank!!!thanks for you help tyhough!
