Freelander 1 - clock dim

KayLR · Jun 17, 2021

Hi all,

As some of you may know I recently got myself a freelander 1, I was wondering if anyone knew a fix for a dim clock on the console? Its working and in certain lights you can read it but it's just incredibly dim and sometimes completely dark. I dont really want to buy a complete new clock unless I have to. (Its a digital led/LCD type)
Thanks!!

Have you checked the bulb?

I didnt realise there was a bulb in there if I am completely honest

, this will be my first port of call

There is a very small wire ended bulb that provides back-light and dips when the car lights are on so as not to distract.
The bulb is accessed by removing the clock trim, then the clock and it is in a twist holder at the rear of the clock.
Ebay sell the 12v mini bulbs.

You can replace the bulb with an led one with a higher equivalent wattage
