Last night i regrettably dismantled my dash...al for one stupid bulb..

When putting it back to gether the two heater vents in the middle look as though they are pushed back, as does the middle part that turns them on. Also the hazard warning switch has popped out, and when i try to put it back in theres either a buzz, or the lights come on.

If anyone can help please can you tell me how to...

1. Put the heater switches back in, with the air vents on line with the dash.

2. Clip the Hazard warning light switch back into position.

I also managed to blow the circuit in the car so the power steering, mirrors, windows, speedo, rev counter, petrol and temperature gauge dont work...i should have paid someone to do it - all for a 60p bulb!

(its a 1999 V Corsa B)

You seperated the vents from the front?You didn't need to. Anyway, just take it off again and try fitting it watching to make sure the flaps at the side go around the vents correctly.

The vents will stop the hazard switch from plugging in.

I have this exact same problem!

Was putting my silver centre console back on, only to find a small bit of the paint had peeled loose - so had to take it off again and spray it from scratch!

I found it almost impossible ot get both the vents and the heater knob panel on at the same time straight!!

The buzzing is because the hazard switch is upside down in the holder, if you make it buzz and the dash lights are on, you can bump start the car without n e keys, unless u got a immobiliser. Did it in my mates 1.4LS b4 and it works

You have a pre-97 Corsa then

Post 97 and the heater control bulbs are behind the centre console cover
