    Hi,
    I have a 98 406 glx auto. The passenger headlight has stopped working
    on setting 2 for night time driving (I can never remember the
    difference between beam and dipped headlights!). The sidelights work
    okay.
    The other problem is that the mileage display back light has stopped
    working (so I can't see it during the day time) and the left hand side
    of the radio display has gone dim.

    I had a quick look at the fuse box (I'm assuming there is only one -
    located in teh engine compartment). Fuses seem fine i.e. the top wire
    on each one looks solid. May sound a stupid question - but do I need
    to pull them out one by one and re-seat them?

    Would like to avoid going to a garage!

    Thanks,
    Al.

  2. Poss. replace headlight bulb as they have two elements in them, dont think
    its worth worrying about the radio or dashboard as its only a bulb gone and
    too hard to replace them as for fuse box im not sure on the 406 but usually
    most fuses are under the steering column

    Suggest you get out the manual and see if a fuse (the fusebox is under the
    steering column- open it with a penny or a screwdriver) protects all the
    missing lights- I think it would be a fuse if you lost lots of non related
    things at the same time. You would be able to see a blown fuse easily
    enough, then just replace with a spade of the same colour.
    From the petrol station.
