Lightbulb Interior light bulb replacements...

Ok, things are going pretty good when my main goal is to get all of the interior lights working.

On our S70 I have 3 more bulb locations I need to get at and I'm not sure which direction to go...

1. In the instrument cluster there is a bulb out on the far right side, high numbers of the tach. Hard to reach from below, any suggestions?

2. The A/C climate control. A bulb in the far left section is out. How do I get at that?

3. There is a bulb out behind the head light switch. Does that just pull out because a small piece of the trim cracked off when I tried to pry it off from the bottom.

1. Usually you need to pull the cluster to get the bulb out and replace.
2. You need to pull the climate module and open it up if it is ECC.
3. You can reach up from the bottom of the dash and help it out from the back side.

In order to get the climate control unit out, simply remove the radio and push the unit from behind. You have to apply a little pressure but it should come out easily. After that simply remove the four screws and remove the faceplate, behind it you will find 4 neo wedge bulbs simply turn them and replace them with the new bulbs. This works for the ECC unit, from what Ive seen most S70's have this unit so it should work. If its the MCC then you have to remove the ***** first and remove the screws located behind them.
