Probably a blown bulb..............it's a 286 (12v 1.2w capless) IIRC, pop the black surround off the heater controls, pop the switch panel off, undo the 4 screws, remove the heater control panel & put your hands down the back of the ashtray/cupholder assy. & squeeze the 2 clips & lift out the assembly & you'll see the little bulb holder
