Default Does your knob light up?

Hi All,

Just driven my 93 XJS for the first time at night and the interior lights and dash lights make it a very pleasant place to be.

Can anyone tell me if the arrow on the heater control knobs should illuminate please. Mine don't.

Also should the computer/clock screen light up? All the buttons are illuminated but the screen isn't.

Cheers

The screen should have dim/bright text depending on your selected interior light dial

Heater knobs do not illuminate, but the screen should. The bulb is probably burned out.

To remove the trip computer, pry ( carefully!) out the switches on each side and then there is a 7mm bolt on each side that holds the trip computer in place.

Great thank you. I'll check the bulb.
