Re: heater illumination

what fuse would it be, one in the glove box ir in engine bay? the clock works and so does the speedo, just the center dash and window buttons. if its not a fuse am i right in thinking the dimmer is faulty and causing the problem? as it no longer dims the speedo clocks the headlight adjuter works tho,

if I change my oil 6000 miles later then I will be ok. As long as the oil won't damage the engine then I'm happy
