Most likely that the bukbs need replacing as they've blown at the end of their life.

That's a lot of bulbs to blow all at the same time.
Are the switches illuminated ? |

No - I'm 99% sure all the centre dash (apart from radio) is in darkness - that includes all the switches, and clock.
(I'll check again later on the school run). So yes, seems unlikely to be failed bulbs. Switches themselves functioning normally, btw. |

Mine has done the same but I haven't got round to checking the feeds to the backs of the swithes yet, Mine coincided with me delving about in there so I have probably dislodged a connector block or disturbed an earth, just need to get my head back into the electrickery theme and not the adjust it with a big hammer theme before I get back in there!

Yes, it's been over a year at least since I had a rummage around with the radio out, so I can't quite remember how the connectors worked, but still seems odd that just the illumination would go off, and not the functions?
If it's not a fuse, then I guess I'm just going to have to open it up and have another fiddle - when I get the time (probably next summer!) |

Hello
I had the same problem last winter and it was the main switch. Also the high beam was affected. Bought a new one but before fitting I took out the old one and used my wife's nail file and polished the contacts. Vips it worked again. Please dont tell my wife.... Good luck to you. |

The only Bulbs so to speak in the dash centre are cigar lighter illumination and hazard light switch, the rest are led and can't really fail, just my 5p worth

If it is my truck you assume is a TD5 then the answer is Yes.
Please do try to take out the main switch and connect the 3 cables together. If the light comes on then you have found the problem. If not then I'm wrong. M |
