citroen ax dashboard lights - swell
can anyone suggest,why when i turn my lights on, i have no lights on dash board, making driving hard work at night, as i cannot tell what speed i am travelling.

Is it as simple as changing a fuse or bulb? if so do you know where they are located.


also when i indicate left,my indicator starts normally,and then suddenly increases it's rhythm. can you help

You'll most likely need a Haynes manual to replace the bulbs as it's not an entirely easy thing to do, involving mini screwdrivers and four hands to get the instrument panel assembly out!

However, if your indicator is changing its flashing speed, then it sounds like it's shorting out on something; an indicator flashing quickly is a sign that one of the bulbs has gone.

If none of the dash lights are working it sounds more like a fuse. Very rare for all the bulbs to go (4 in total IIRC)
possibly a bad earth / short that has popped fuse and caused indicator fault.

Another possible common factor may be the dimmer control, if one is fitted to this model.
