Dash Switch Illumination

[steve_lj]

I've just noticed the bulb behind the heated rear window switch is not working. Had a quick look and not quite sure how to remove switch to gain access to bulb. Can someone point me in right direction regarding replacement ?

many thanks

Not that easy I'm afraid. The switch heads just pull out but the illumination bulbs are inserted from the back of the aircon panel circuit board. The aircon panel facia needs to be removed to gain access - the rotary controls simply pull off first. There are some oddball panel bulbs fitted to Toyotas and to be sure, I'd order the correct bulb from your dealer so you can do the job in one go.

Thanks - i'm going to give it a go at the weekend. If its too fiddly then I can live with it. Will report back.
