    A few questions :)

    Hey guys I've noticed recently when driving at night that my a/c controls are not backlit.... Is this normal? And also my cigarette lighter thing is broken, could this have anything to do with it if they should light up?

    Thanks, Mac

    Hi there, the fuse for the cigarette lighter also covers the backlighting for the A/C controls. The fuse has probably blown, and will require replacing.

    just the a/c button? Or all the dials and fan controls?
    the light out on the ac controls could just be the globe. If u have the older manual controls like me. Itd behind the fan speed control.
    From memory you turn it to vertical and can pull the whole switch out, but dont quote me on that!

    One more question, which fuse would be blown and where could I find it, and also which fuse could I use to test it?

    The fuse panel is on the end of the dashboard inside the drivers door. You have to pop off the panel cover, pry off using the car key in the slot.
    There is a card showing a map of the fuses. The map is a mirror of the panel and can be confusing.

    Fuse 41 15Amp is the cigarette lighter. Colour code for 15 amp is BLUE.
    Fuse 27 for the rear wiper is 15Amp also, you could use that to check.
    Don't use the fuel pump, fuse 28, you don't want to blow that and get stuck.

    Not sure when they changed over, but or old 2004 Golf had LED illumination. Nearly cried when I was quoted $130 (trade) for a new control panel to get the lights working again.
