12v light fixture on xot30s hood - Kitchen Appliances - Others

Check grounding on the fixture. Usually the fixture only gets the 12v+ from switch. The 12v- comes from the fixtures mounting or it has a black wire that comes off of fixture and goes to ground.

Hello There,
If you plan to have LED lights in your household the easyest thing is to buy the ones, they are made for line voltage (120 V). You have choices for bulb like shape or tubes. The tubes are available for direct replacement (using the existing ballast) ot the line voltage ones (the fixture's wiring should be modified and the ballast needs to be removed). The power saving is constant, by the time passing by you are saving.
Hopefully, this will help you. If you have more specific question, please let me know.

For the defroster:

Turn the defroster on and check for 12v at the connector on the window. If you have 12v, check for breaks in the element (the thin lines running across the window). If you do not have 12v and the fuse is good, the culprit will most likely either be the switch or the wiring.

For the right park light:

Check the bulb socket. You should have 12v at one terminal (with the park lights on) and ground at the other. If the voltage and ground are ok, you either have a bad bulb or possibly a bad socket. By bad socket I mean they can sometimes distort and not allow the terminals to make good enough contact.

Hope this was helpful.

Open hood, on left side of vehicle behind the light fixture look for white nylon clips that just lift
Pull up about 1.5" and they come free from the fixture. At this point the entire light assembly can be moved forward. Disconnect the wiring harness and the whole fixture comes out allowing you access to all the bulbs.
Reverse process to reassemble

This is for a smeg KD series, it depens on the model which lights are used.
LIGHTS REPLACEMENT:
Before performing any cleaning and/or
maintenance operation, disconnect the hood
from the mains supply.
According to the model, the hood can be equipped
with different kind of lighting such as incandescent,
halogen and neon lamps.
a) Incandescent lamps: E14 – 40W 230V lamps.
To replace them, remove the transparent fixture
from the control panel, unscrew the lamp and
screw in the new one.
b) Halogen lamps: G4, 20W - 12V lamps . To
replace the lamp, use a screwdriver to remove
the glass-supporting ring. Then remove the old
lamp and insert the new one.
Put the glass back, securing it with the ring.
c) Biax neon lamps: G23 11W lamp. Once the
fixture has been removed, remove the biax lamp
from its seat and support.
Put a new lamp in, performing the same
operations backwards.
d) Neon lamp: 15/18W neon tube. To reach the
neon tube, unscrew the glass framework screws.
Rotate the tube 90 degrees and remove the neon
lamp. Install the new neon tube and put the glass
framework back.

Hope this helps

put the hood up and look through the small holes in the plastic cover that runs over top of the headlight assemblies and radiator. There is 2 metal tabs holding each light fixture. They dont need to come all the way out just pull them up about an inch. This releases the entire light fixture to pull straight out

The screws by the lights probably only hold the fixture in place. If you took the screws out you would only get access to the fixture and maybe some wiring. If you have already replaced the lights you can assume its not the fixtures. Not likely both fixtures failed at the same time. The common problems would be the light switch. You would need to gain access to the switch and then check that for power.

You already know house power is good because the fan is working, But since both lights failed and new bulbs don't fix the problem it would most likely be a switch.

According to their website it looks like that whole front panel should come off including the fixtures and the switches.

MAKE SURE THE POWER IS TURNED OFF......REMEMBER THE FAN WON'T WORK IF THE POWER IS OFF.

Once you remove that you can check the wiring harness for the lights. You may also see wire nuts on the harness double check those as well.

Check to see if you have power to the fixture, make sure you have a good ground (fixture to dash tight), if all these check out you may have a bad fixture that needs to be replaced.
