Fuse 20 is for the rear demister check that first
fuse 10 for dashboard.
or could be just the bulbs blown behind the dials.
Lost without my Bongo.

HI Dave hope you are well.

Thanks for that. The rear demister is still working just not the light. Is that still the same thing?

4 screws on the dash surrounding the speedo pod, then four more screws to remove the actual pod... Relevant bulb at the bottom right hand side? http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html (no need pulling the whole pod apart, bulbs at the back.)

High chances are... You don't have a factory fitted fog light notification light for the front!!
... Definitely not for the back fog. :roll:

I made my own for the front... & the back. :idea:

Marc, there is a notification bulb (orange) for the rear demister in the main dash lights, but the rear fog will be an aftermarket switch as bongo's don't have rear foglights in Japan. For the sake of a cost of a switch (a couple of quid) i'd swap the switch over to remedy the failed bulb issue, available at most car accessory shops (motor world etc). The switch will need to illuminate for an MOT pass. :wink:

Is the top section of this light supposed to light up?

Also the panel in the right hand side of the instrument cluster with the 6 windows in - is it a different bulb for each window?

sorry to be such a thickie

Or then again could it be a fuse???
