    Dashlights

    All dashlight went down, don't dimmer AC lights when driving light are turned on, parking lights down, radio light down and heater won't work (this might be another problem). Fuse 14 is ok. So is glovebox bulb. What to do?? Sell my S2???

    Before selling your S2, I suggest you use the "search" function.

      Agreed...I think the glovebox bulb is on a separate fuse than the dash lights. Perhaps, check your wiring harness that leads to the lights (reverse and rear fog) on your hatch. The reverse lights i *think* are on the same fuse as the dash lights, a/c control lights, etc. Sometimes, that wiring harness gets shorts inside of it because the wires get old and crack since they move everytime you open the boot. Ensure that those lights work first, then play it by ear.
      If anything, since your S2 sounds like a complete electrical lemon, i'll buy it from you for cheap!

            Try looking for the fuse that does the rear number plate lights (5A IIRC) this one also acts for the dashlights and is NOT described in any manual BTDT>

            Good luck.

            Cheers,

              I've been down that route too Steve. Tried the 5 amp in position 14, but it turned to be the 15 amp fuse in location 12.

              fuse 14 = licence plate light, engine and glove compartment light, instrument cluster light, air condition display illumination. (5 amp)...................

              and

              fuse 12 = Instrument cluster, reverse lights, fast idle, multiple sensor, GRA, distance sensor, airbag warning lamp. (15 amp).................

              Why have two seperate fuses for the instrument cluster
