Center dash lights fuse?

Is there a fuse for the lights behind the heater controls. A couple of mine had gone so removed the duff ones but now none work. I wonder if I have blown a fuse by removing one as I broke it getting it out. Oh, and they aren't 501 bulbs as mentioned in another post they are much smaller. So now I have a glut of 501's I bought in antisipation of replacing.

As a side note, the clock and hazard switch still light up...

No separate fuse, as I recall, but it can be a right pain getting the bulb to seat correctly in the holder. There is also a connector between the heater control lights sub harness and the main dash light harness, if this is dislodged you'll have no heater lights.

You may also find that those bulbs can overheat when failing and damage the uber-expensive heater control panel.

Ask me how I know!

O.K. then tell us "HOW DO YOU KNOW?"

Seriously though, sorry for your misfortune. These things can be a pain in the neck

All sorted! They all just needed a gentle push right home, now all four working.
The Lucas part number is LLB286, they are 1.2w capless bulbs on a 2011 puma, not the 501 capless as metioned somewhere else on the forum.

I know because one cold wet night I couldn't turn the b****y fan off speed 3 after demisting! The bulb for the fan switch had melted the backside of the panel to such an extent that the slider was stuck.

That panel is something like £500 too, it went up from around £80 about a month before I needed one.

In the end I reshaped mine and it has been ok since, though intentionally I have left that bulb out.
