check the silly things first. Have you acidentally caught the dimmer switch to the right and down from the steering wheel? I have done that before :oops: :oops:

Above is first move,if not that then it will most likely be a blown backlight bulb.

dimmer switch ain't the problem. I'll take it it ain't straight forward to replace the bulb?

The exact order eludes me as I have not removed mine for some time,but it is not difficult & requires no speciat tools.
