On the climate control unit are the row of switch which have *off, outside temp, on & up & down temp* ment to light up ?

If they are then mine arn't working, if anyone knows how to fix this, if it's just a fuse or its the lights themselves. I'd appricate the help

Cheers

yep they do light up...
you'll need new bulbs.. if it was a fuse they'd all go...

bulbs cost like $1 each

Thanks jonowong

Any idea on how to replace them ?

Your gonna have to remove the gear shifter suround but be very careful as it will most likely break if you remove it, once that is off take the 2 screws holding the centre bit of the dash which has the climate control out, then you should be able pull it out like 3-4 inches out just enough to remove the wires behide it, and then you should be able to get to the light bulbs.

As Bigpitty said, but you gotta get inside the climate control box to change em. 4 screws on the back of the console mounting to get the unit off the console itself, then another 4 screws holding the unit together. There are 4 tabs which lock the face panel to the box which you can lever open using a flat head screwdriver. Once you've done that you can open the unit a bit, but there's a ribbon cable connecting it all so it can't be taken off as such (You don't need to anyway). At this point you'll see 4 round black circles on the back of the circuit board with crosses in them, these are the globe holders. Use your flat head screwdriver to turn them and they'll come out. The globes simply pull out of the holders.
Tip to the wise- replace all of the globes at the same time, if one's gone, the others are not far off either. You don't want to have to do this over again in a months time

Thanks guys will hopefully get around to it this long weekend.

Any ideas on where to find the globes ? will autobarn etc. have them?

hi there
i cold give u a hand
i;ve changed mine heaps before
and changing the stock lights to LEDs too
also i got a spare unit i want to sell since i sold my fto

That would be great, I'm looking to change my lights to LED's and putting HID's aswell as putting in one of the new dial covers.

Any help would be appricated.

I didn't even know that it lit up. Guess I've got another item on my todo list now.

Still haven't got around to doing anything about this, but have since found out that if I flick that side of the climate control they light up

Possibly loose wire maybe?
