01 1.8 Loss of light on dash - mikee21
Hello,
Recently i have been having problems with the lights on the dash board of my Zafira, it is a rather funny situation because other lights seem to be working fine (e.g. the gear box lights and surounding the sterio). My thinking was that is was to do with the battery, soo i replaced it with a new one and yet the lights are still rather dull on the display. I really have no idea to the solution and was wondering if it was a loose wire? Any help on this matter would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

I'm not sure which lights you mean from your description but if a fascia bulb has blown, take a look at this :

Having re-read your description and seeing the word "dull", have you tried the rheostat control - the sliding switch that changes the intensity of the fascia bulbs?
