Hi, I have tried the above link - http://www.aufalcon.com/Workshop.htm - with no luck - there is no page, and when finally found there are no files in the workshop tab.

I have recently purchased a 2002 AU3 Falcon Forte and there is no backlight for the odometer. Is this correct? I don't think it is as i can't see the ODO or the DTE display at night. if not can i change a bulb or do something to get a back light. I am a PE teacher who has some knowledge of car electronics, but this is limited, no would love the "change a bulb for dummies!" way to do this if i need ot.

Thank you for your help.
