If you have leds fitted, the dimmer unit will still work just the same as with regular bulbs.

which pin is this? the plug which fits into the back of the display?

i agree, mine did the same

mate i had the same problem. what it is that one of the pins behind the mfd is loose. So what you have to do is take it out and then solder the pins that are loose. Im sure this is the problem as i had the problem last week. Takes 40 secs to fix. Ask if u need help as i know how annoying it can be:thumbs:

but what would make it turn off when the ignition is off then??

sounds like somthings loose then at the back of the MFD

i tried it already and it made no difference...though i turned it to its lowest. but the brightness is still the same

yes it will
as it turns the brightness off the LED's up and down

go and try it and then i will have a re think
as sounds to me thats it

it makes no difference...maybe cos i got leds

no there like a slider on the right hand side need your headlight knob
slide it

ummm probably...why? the lights turn off when the ignition is on unless u turn the main beams on

is the light brightness turned up :look:

But the display does work perfectly but switches on when the ignition is off

time and date is cos u are not using a standard vauxhall head unit
only sonys u can use the top display
the best u can do it fuse it off and have the date there


if its not working all together then u have prob hit somthing and knocked the plug off or one of the backing lights may have gone.

i've just changed my standard headunit to a alpine headunit but for some reason the display indicating the time and temperature is not working unless i turn the main beams on. And switch on when i turn the ignition off??

Please help its draining my battery
