How do you replace the instrument panel bulb on a Renault 5 campus?

Answer 1

To replace a bulb you have to remove the instrument panel, and probably the piece of plastic under the steering wheel - for easy access to the speedo cable connector. Follow these steps: Remove the plastic sun shield that hangs over your the panel by pulling it gently up. It's held by two clips on the left and right side, but be careful not to break the plastic, it might be brittle from the long exposure to the sun. Then you'll need a Torex screwdriver to undo two screws holding instrument panel, that will be exposed after you remove the sun shield. After that you pull the instrument panel gently up & towards you, until it unsettles out from it's cradle. Don't pull too far away, there are cables on back that hold the panel. There are three electrical connectors on the back of the instrument panel, two on the sides, and one in the middle top, and there's also one for the speedo cable. You'll have to disconnect them. Maybe you won't have enough space behind the panel to reach speedo cable. If that's the case, remove the plastic under the steering wheel, it's held by some Torex screws, and then find the speedo cable through the hole, from the bottom. Be careful, turn the speedo connector left and right gently while pulling, and it will go out. Now the instrument panel is free, you can pull it out and see the back. There are clips that hold bulbs, just turn them and pull out. That's it, the reassembly is pretty strait forward, reconnect the cables, you might have to do it through the opening under the steering wheel, put back the screws, sunshield, plastic under the steering wheel. Good luck, have fun!
