The electric wire for the ashtray light or storage compartment light may be routed in a way that may
cause the wire to chafe and/or be pinched. This may also result in the lights not working.
Causes and Remedial Action
Cause
Electric wires for the ashtray and/or storage compartment lights, which are supplied with power from the
instrument cluster via terminal '58d' may be chafed/pinched.
Remedial
action
In the event of a customer complaint, check electric wires for the ashtray and storage compartment
lights for the following:
• are they under tension and show signs of chafing
• are they pinched
• are the terminal connections secure so they do not vibrate more with the road
if so, rework or correct the wire routing as necessary.
Replacement of the instrument cluster is not necessary.
