Thanks for info on seat heater bulbs



Thanks to all for the info on how to fix this one! The recommended 20V site
is great. The instructions helped a lot, but the switch construction is
somewhat different on the '93 90Q. There's no red plastic assembly holding
the bulb. Instead it's a clear plastic assembly that directs light from a
*red bulb* to various parts of the assembly. To get the clear plastic
assembly off, you would have to desolder a large copper shield from the PCB.
However, you don't have to do that. On this version, you can simply desolder
the bulb leads and it falls out a hole in the clear plastic assembly.
However, I'm not so sure I'll be able to find that bulb! The Radio Shack
bulbs are white. They do have a miniature 12V red bulb, but I'm not sure it
will fit. I'm off today to see what they've got. Worse comes to worse, I'll
paint the white bulb with a magic marker or cobble something together with
an LED and resistor.
