Should the heater, fan, and direction knob area light up at night?

 

[Aedo]

yes

Perfect answer, thanks.
I phoned LOTUS and they have informed me that the circuit board is faulty, is this a easy fix?

 

[Rascal]

I'm wondering if this is loose connection problem, does anyone have diagram as to where the wiring for these goes too?
If you do any chance of a diagram.

And if you have the right board, and knobs, the "spot" on the knobs light up as well. Unlike Aedo's above and mine.

Cheers.

Indeed its a newer board and newer set of knobs. You can order the set through Lotus, but you must specify that you want the latest panel with the lighted knob option.

Stupid question: Rather than buy a new board and knobs to get the dot to illuminate on the knobs, can you just drill a hole through the face of the knob? Will it then pick up illumination from behind? Anyone tried this?

No, unless you replace the panel the knob won't light. The panel has a custom EL sheet that only lights where the graphics are. The new panel will have the additional EL bands on the underside of the knob to light it up. You could do a new panel and then drill your knobs, but you would have to fill the hole with something that will transmit the light through to the front if you want it to be bright.
