Lights in a manual climate control panel

[neilca]

I have searched here and on the web without success. So has anyone successfully replaced the lights in a manual climate control panel? The AC button light works but the fan, temperature and distribution panels are dark in my truck. I had it apart the best I could without removing the cables and I could not see any light sockets.

Hi man, I did that fix today, there are actually two light bulbs that illuminate the whole AC control panel. Getting to them is actually pretty easy, but you have to dismount the A/C controls, because the lights are on the back of the panel:

 

 

They should look like this:

 

 

The blue color is actually a little rubber cover, be careful not to tear it apart or you will end up having a yellowish color on your AC controls, that happened to me at first, so changed the bulbs for white 12v LEDs and now it is looking good:

 

 

I hope this helps, man

Thank you PibeGuerra

 

That is exactly what I needed. So you pull the bulbs from the socket for replacement. It really helped to know where to find them. I think I will go with the LED's as well. And you don't have to remove the cables! Awesome.

Not a problem neilca, I am sure it will look great with the LEDs. Good luck with that

Do you have a part number or source for the LED lights you used?
