'91 240 switch bulbs

Post by Larmor »

I'm helping clean up a 1991 240 wagon which has a few dead interior bulbs - the A/C and seat warmer switches don't light up anymore. I haven't dismantled the switches yet to take a look at them; do they have easily replaceable bulbs, or is it a resoldering job like the early 850s? If the latter, does it use the same bulbs you can get at Radio Shack?

No soldering needed. The bulbs fit into sockets and one bulb can illuminate more than one switch.

Best thing to do is pull the old bulbs and go to Radio Shack with them.
