599: F1 Gear Indicator Light

Hello,

my gear indicator disappears intermittently, any idea what it could be?

My battery is a bit weak, it reappeared when I lowered the window.

Otherwise, how would I get the instrument cluster out?

Thank yo

 

These cars require strong batteries and many issues can arise due to low voltage. Get your battery recharged or replaced asap - most likely this is the reason.

 

Great, thank you. Will do.

I did notice one of the blubs of the instrument cluster seems to be out - it is dark on the right side of the speedo.

How do I access this blub, does the cluster have to come out?? (airbag)?

 

Doubt if there is a bulb in there. The late instrument panels are lit by strips like the one shown below for the 360.

I see...(said the blind man).

I will take a picture tomorrow and post it.

Where is the light source then, it is a LED strip?

Thank you

 

Not sure what it is on a 599, but FAI will know and should know how to fix it.

Great, thank you.

Any idea how/where the F1 hydraulich fluid can be accessed?
