I doubt its a fuse - check by taking the cover off the fuse cover - on the cover, should b various symbols - 1 for the 3 bulbs - put a test light on it and see if a current runs through it, if no, yes it may be the fuse.

However, its likely to be the bulbs - can u see them? If theyv've blown, theyl be kinda silvery? The ones in the scrappy were - and I gues mine will be too!!!!

thnx. :)

and it has nothing to do with the fuse? because it seems all 3 have gone now....one was working fine, but all of a sudden decided to stop too, the one whioch lights up for the rear window heater when the dial is pulled on. :(

:lol: Yeh it does seem that our cars have the same problems!!!

Well there was 3 bulbs in the one I dismantled in a scrappy - basically 1 behind each dial - this may have changed in newer Corsa's I gues - this was a 1994 'L' Plate like mine. I just sort of wiggled the bulbs, whilst pulling them towards me and they came out :thumbs:

same here, guess we have the same problems...horn, now bulbs...lol....

so i have to twist and at the same time pull, is it clockwise or anti clockwise?

btw I can only see 2, where is the 3rd one?

think there are two bulbs in the heater controls

and if you have removed them they should just pull/push out

I have removed everyhting except for the bulbs. I really can't figure it out on how to remove them. :( :boggle:

Can somebody give me an explanation please?

Thanks for replies
