Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Hi, new here so sorry if a similar question has been asked previously I've had a quick look around and couldn't find anything.

I bought a 1994 corsa LS a couple of months ago as my first car and during the time since have gradually been fixing a few things inside (fitting a new stereo, replacing interior bulbs etc) but I'm having a bit of trouble with the clock/temperature display in the centre. The problem basically is that it doesn't work. I managed to remove the unit from the car and when I took the casing off the two bulbs were black as though they had both blown. I purchased two new bulbs, fitted these into the unit and put it all back together but it still doesn't work.

I've heard a few stories of clock displays that only seem to work when the radio/lights are on but these things don't seem to make any difference.

My feeling now is that the clock unit's had it and I should just get a new one from either a scrapyard or ebay but just wondered if anyone could suggest anything else that I could check (i don't know if there are any fuses etc for the clock that might have blown) before I go out and get a new one?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks, Matt

It could be a fuse/the MFD its self or just the bulbs not making contact.

If the unit it's working you should be able to see the display working without the lights on in good daylight. If you can't see these then it's not the bulbs and suggest checking your fuses.

Cheers, any idea which fuse it would be?

Ive looked in the fusebox near the steering wheel but most of the symbols on the cover mean nothing to me.

I'm not sure which fuse it is. I suppose you could go round each one and check.
