Dim Multi-function Display Fix - Peugeot 307

Is the multi-function display very dim or not illuminating at all in your Peugeot 307 from years 2001 to 2008 ?. You may only need to replace the bulbs to fix the problem. The bulbs are 12 volt, 1.2 watt 286 wedge type bulbs. It is possible to replace the bulbs without having to disconnect the wiring and fully remove the unit, but it’s a lot more difficult. If you need to adjust the display brightness, here's a link showing how to do that: • Multi-function Display... . Thanks for watching. Please comment, like and subscribe !.

Many people are complaining (including me), that during hot summer days when sun shines directly onto dashboard then the display is dim and you can't see a thing. Even with bulbs working. Replacement of bulbs doesn't solve the issue. What works is a replacement with a same type display from Peugeot 206. Be warned, that it might work perfect after change, but you might not have radio/audio player afterwards. Someone with PP2000 or other diagnostics might do the settings and everything to work fine afterwards. I did it and it works (well, I need to replace 2 bulbs, but the rest is fine) :)

Thanks for the video. I followed your steps exactly, and everything went well. To anyone who will do this in the future, be careful when lifting the entire display unit - it pops out unexpectedly and solidly, so brace the and control the load carefully. Prising the cable clip out took a bit of patience, but it worked out OK. Everything from there was straightforward. I replaced all the bulbs. However, when it all went back together, there was no difference to the dimness on the one side was exactly the same! It seems that the lighting levels are supply not consistent across the display, and it wasn't a bulb not shining. Its just the way it is. Anyway, I love this 307, and the effort is worth it.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thanks for the comments 👍

[@siniwallisto6397]

I popped the display out and back to see if it really comes out that easily before buying the lightbulbs. The last bulb died as i popped ot back in, it all went black, tought i broke the display completley 😃 Followed your steps exactly, changed all three lightbulbs and everything went perfectly, thank you for the video. Now i have to change the ligbtbulbs in the climate controls. Looking forward for the next video. Thanks!

[@johnsaliba5358]

Just changed the bulb on the right hand side and display is back to normal. Thank you very much as I wouldn't have fixed it if I hadn't seen your video.

After battery died mine has iverted colors (instead of orange on black it's black on orange) and american date format. Any idea how to fix that?

[@WeveGotBush]

We're do you purchase these bulbs? They don't look a standard bulb you buy at a automotive store.

[@naseralitovic7955]

My friend do you know how to fix the blink?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Press and hold the left button for a few seconds to start the menu and then short press the left button to cycle through the different settings. Tap the right button to scroll up through the days/hours/minutes etc.

[@ctdproductions9470]

The display is working perfectly, however anytime i reset the current date & time it resets back to the original setting i.e January 2003 01, whenever i switch the car off. How do i deal with this ?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

When did that start happening ?

[@aldopizzuto9609]

I did this (2 bulbs were broken, so I replaced all 3 bulbs), but the display is always dark. I adjusted the brightness trying to set the maximum, but even at maximum the display is too dark to see (just a little bright but unreadable). Probably the display is broken? Any ideas? Thank you!

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Yes it sounds like the display unit itself could be faulty

[@azutan]

My display only flashes like in the video, nothing happends if i press any buttons. Do you know the solution? Any way to reset it?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Press and hold the left button for a few seconds to start the menu and then short press the left button to cycle through the different settings. Tap the right button to scroll up through the days/hours/minutes etc.

My i20 dashboard multi display info LCD has some shadows vertically, not lines, across the screen. How do I fix it?? It's clearly visible especially when check during night time. Also, at these shadows areas, the colours are bit dimmed as compared to the normal screen areas. There is no other issues. Please help me fix.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I don't know, sorry. I haven't worked on one of those before

Hello is possible to put T5 led bulb here?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

I think they might just make bright spots on the display but I'm not 100% sure

[@pr.vladvalahul]

From where can I buy that small lights?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

You should be able to buy them at a motor factors or you can get them on ebay: www.ebay.ie/itm/293805482249?

Ciao, sai dove sii trova il sensore della temperatura esterna? Non funziona più, ora ci sono due segni -- sul display. Come posso fare ?

[@Zubareffstream111]

I have a problem with mine but I think it is the head unit itself needs replacing. It now flashes in French and none of the buttons on the head unit/radio do anything. The menu button does nothing so I can't change any of the settings. Should I replace the unit?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Did you press and hold the button just to the left of the display ?. That's how you get into the menu to adjust language etc. The button to the right of the display cycles through the options

[@karolissku]

Good video as always 👍, i have a question regarding the display. Does this display only shows date time and weather or does it have any more function to it?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Thank you, yes it does. It displays the radio/cd player, fuel economy and door open and other warnings etc

[@karolissku]

@@screwsnutsandbolts could you explain how to make it show other functions?

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

@@karolissku You press in the button at the tip of the wiper stalk to cycle through the different functions
