Harry, what yr is your rig ? my 85 lost both heater control lights, clock light and lighter surround light when I installed a new Pioneer. chasing wiring via Bentley = headlight sw rheostat, maybe flasher sw, maybe defrost sw, fuse 13, dash pod, and T4 (where my problem likely is because it no longer exists - PO + now deceased radio). I think Alistair [dba RagnarHairyBreeks] over at the Samba experienced and/or cured this issue. will rummage thru their archives until help arrives here.

   Frying isn't likely- that's what fuses are for.  Instead of eyeballing
the fuse, (it's #3) test it.  Or try a known good fuse in #3 position, then
report back.
