Default Does your knob light up?

Hi All,

Just driven my 93 XJS for the first time at night and the interior lights and dash lights make it a very pleasant place to be.

Can anyone tell me if the arrow on the heater control knobs should illuminate please. Mine don't.

Also should the computer/clock screen light up? All the buttons are illuminated but the screen isn't.

Cheers

The screen should have dim/bright text depending on your selected interior light dial

Heater knobs do not illuminate, but the screen should. The bulb is probably burned out.

To remove the trip computer, pry ( carefully!) out the switches on each side and then there is a 7mm bolt on each side that holds the trip computer in place.

Great thank you. I'll check the bulb.

The screen should light up but dims when the lights are turned on
