If you have the standard fiesta dash then you can’t see the bulbs unless you take the cluster out. Just follow the instructions in the Haynes manual and it shouldn’t take more than 10 mins to get it out. (it’s ALOT easier if you take the steering wheel off first) You will need a 19mm (I think) socket to get the steering wheel off and just a normal Phillips screwdriver to undo everything else.
Where abouts in the country are you? There might be someone near you who could help.

Thank you for your answers pertaining to the dark instrument cluster problem. As I was reading them a number of questions reared their ugly heads. Before I start the job, how do I go about extracting the instrument cluster? Is it a long job or (I hope) a pleasant Sunday afternoons tinkering? Do I need any particular tools to facilitate removal? Is there anything that I need to be careful about? As a sort of PS , its top down time and one of my rubber ' O ' rings that secures one side of the folded up soft top when its down has been broken for some years. I have bodged it by the simple expedient of pulling it out straight and tying a knot in the end but it is not very satisfactory looking or reliable as the knot occaisionally comes undone. Is anyone able to suggest where they can be obtained? I will detain you no longer , I am now going to have a look to see if I can get at the dash bulbs from underneath. I will report back and let you know.

I have up to now enjoyed years of trouble free motoring however I now experiencing some electrical problems after (foolishly) flattening my battery. After installing the new battery as advised by a mobile auto electrician I got to come round to inspect the wiring, which appeared to be alright nothing came on, everything absolutely deado. I have checked the fuses. Can anybody offer any advice? Glyn Scoltock -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
