Hi all,
I'm having a bit of a nightmare trying to get parts, i've tried loads of breakers and Ford themselves. Let me explain, after buying my 98 Explorer I realised that the front map lights didn't work, when I prised the cover off there were no bulbs and nothing to hold bulbs in if there were bulbs. Looking at the owners manual there are two screw type things that hold the bulbs in but whether that's all i'm missing i don't know. Ford said i'd have to replace the whole unit that holds the temp gauge and compass and sunroof switch! Bit of overkill i would've thought.
These links point to pics of what i've got and what i think i'm missing:
What i've got
What i'm missing?
Any advice on what i'm missing, where i could get them from or how i could make a replacement would be greatly received.
