P38A Rear fog light switch

Andy Burrell · Jan 14, 2022

Is there a recommended way to get the dashboard switches out. The rear fog light doesn't work so I want to check the switch connection as par of the diagnosis. Fronts work fine, rear switch doesn't light up when the fronts are on.

the rear switch isn't supposed to light up with the fronts
There's no way to remove the switch from the front, you have to pinch the springy bits on the back of the switch

All sorted. New switch sorted the problem

You can replace the bulb in the switch. The switch isn't latched from memory, it just tells the BECM you pressed it and then the BECM controls the lights.

My guess is that the switch was duff or maybe a loose connection. Dash came to bits easier than I expected which was good. Had to make two metal inserts to get the radio out but apart from that it was straight forward.
