How to change the bulb on the heating display of the Ford Ka

Model: Ford Ka MK 2 - Years 2008-2016
Part: Instrument cluster

In this video, we see how to change the light bulb on the heating control panel of the Ford Ka: to perform such a simple operation, it is necessary to dismantle the entire central console, starting from the radio and the gear lever cover. This is where we start, by removing the gear lever cover we find two screws, and this part comes off completely. This way we expose two screws that hold the central console, so we can gently lift it, as it is only held by snap-in clips, and we can lift it with a plastic spatula; we will also have to remove the air vents in the same way. Meanwhile, we will have to remove the radio, which we remove by inserting two screwdrivers into the holes at the top; then we will remove the electrical connections behind. This way we can lift the console cover and finally find our light bulb, which must be removed very carefully, as it could get stuck inside. We change the light bulb and, with a lot of patience, we prepare to reassemble everything in reverse.
