Video tutorial

Inside the cabin, as is known in modern vehicles, there are three small converters, let’s call them that, which regulate the flow, direction of the air conditioning, and its temperature. These sometimes have a bulb that indicates when they are on: in this video, you will see how to replace it, as it is often an underestimated task.

Disconnect, without fully removing, the cigarette lighter panel and then the radio compartment (in this case empty); you will notice that on the side of the converters is the bulb housing under the large piece of plastic with the relevant connectors.

Once those are removed, you reach the housing; to remove the bulb, use a flat screwdriver to turn the cap and allow you to extract it. Now comes a delicate part: detach the bulb from its housing.

This operation is very delicate: using a very thin flat screwdriver, gently lift the two clips without damaging them as they are an integral part of the bulb. Reassemble everything with due care.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
