Information Center Lamps

[luminova11]

Before I start dismantling the instrument cluster, does anyone know how to access the bulbs for the turn signals and high beam in the unit above the main instrument cluster on those vans equipped with the information center.

 

Many thanks in advance

Yes, it's very simple. The upper cluster is a unit in itself and fitted with clips. You just need to gently prise it out. There is one multiplug to take out and the bulbs are a simple twist fit.

From the manual (basically as above but the Yanks are quite verbose ;

MESSAGE CENTER
