gazmech Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 Can you help? Where can i get the diode for the heater control from as main dealer is dear and scrap yard has none. Quote
seatkid Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 Diode? Dont you mean the resistor pack? Available from fleabay IIRC. Quote
gazmech Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Posted August 29, 2012 Resistor? I was told its a diode by the dealer. Lol Quote
gazmech Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Posted August 29, 2012 Diode? Dont you mean the resistor pack? Available from fleabay IIRC.Wat do i look for? If i put in IIRC it comes up with a sticker. Lol Quote
sparky Paul Posted August 29, 2012 Report Posted August 29, 2012 Try searching for "galaxy resistor". IIRC - If I Remember Correctly :) Quote
gazmech Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Posted August 29, 2012 No thats not wat im after. I'm after the light on a mk 1 galaxy 1999 in the year. Quote
sparky Paul Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 I'm guessing you mean the backlight bulb for the controls. Do you have the climate control panel, or the manual heater controls? Mine's the manual type, but the climate control panel has different illumination arrangements IIRC. Quote
seatkid Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 LEDs (Light emitting diodes) rarely fail, are you sure its not something else? Which LED exactly are you talking about? Quote
gazmech Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Posted August 30, 2012 This one has 2 prongs out the back and a grey holder i think the wires were broken when i got the car. Quote
gazmech Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Posted August 30, 2012 I have done but not sure if the do the holders Quote
seatkid Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) I'm pretty sure all the illumination on Mk1 manual heater controls is by conventional bulbs. part no 7M0919040C http://www.auto-part...6pz4Ip7i23fyIPx Edited August 30, 2012 by seatkid Quote

baz barrat Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 hi gang sorry to dive in but this may be the topic i am after. the heater/aircon controls on my 2000 2.3 auto dont light up. i have managed to remove the bulb holder. it is a grey cylinder about 9 mm in diameter about 22mm long with 2 prongs 10mm sticking out the back, says alba by the prongs.my ford dealer says that ford no longer do this part and i will have to buy the entire unit (hundreds of pounds) so can any one tell me where i can either get replacement bulbs i am guessing 12v 1odd watt or the bulb and holder ( Vw or seat part?) i am love the motor but want to get it all working properlyor it it possible these bulbs on ebay . i also got asked by another new galaxy owner abut this problem so would like to help her out as well T4.2 12V 1.0W INSTRUMENT BULB 514 BOX 10 Quote
xavier Posted September 26, 2012 Report Posted September 26, 2012 Put it in Ebay and got this : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/T4-2-12V-1-0W-INSTRUMENT-BULB-514-x-2-/300663967549?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4600f80f3d Does this look right? Alternatively, a call to a VW dealer might be more helpful? If it's the bulb rather than the holder (but would still try VW). Quote
baz barrat Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 hi yes that the closest looking one i can find. also the maplin link looked quite close but if poss i would rather just buy the bulb in its grey holder. might just take a punt and see how i get on.will keep you posted Quote
