Ford focus estate 2001 - Dashboard lights out - FISH0504
Hi all,
Can anybody help me with one light above the dashboard going out right side petrol indicator,is it easy enough to take the dashboard counsel out and if so which type of light bulb do I require to purchase before tackling the job.

Secondly the boot switch does not open anymore you need to use the key to open boot lid,would this problem also be located within the dashboard when I remove it hopefully to release the light bulb problem.

Thirdly and last one hahaha my rear windscreen heater has stopped working is it just a simple replace the fuse hopefully so.

Thanks all for your help cheers
Adrian Fisher.

Dash pod is easy to remove.3 screws along the top of the black surround and pull forward,then 4 screws hold the pod to the dash.There are 3 main illumination bulbs,but I think these are only available from dealer ,as there are a bulb and holder assembly.As to your boot release and hrw faults,I would think you have broken wiring in the rubber tube that runs from the body to the tailgate.hth
