I doubt many people have taken them to pieces. You may be the first. If you do, we would appreciated a photo or 2.

If all 3 are not working I would suspect a fuse rather than all 3 blown.

Just my take on your problem

You managed to get the vents out yet? I would assume a small bulb in each?

You pull the vents out with a home made tool, a bit of 3mm rod with an L shape at the end to hook into the vent.

See if this Document travels OK.

Nope, the system won't let me upload a 160kb file - EH? What am I doing wrong?
