It appears the the lighting for the climate control (manual system, standard 3 dials) is out. Al other lights work fine, Anyone know the details of how to fix?

 

Did you ever fix this problem? It's easy enough to remove the control cluster but I have not closely examined the lighting.

 

This is all that my manual refers to. Not a difficult job for any DIYer.

1. Remove the control assembly. For additional information, refer to Control Assembly—Electronic Automatic Temperature Control in this section.

1. NOTE: Place the module upside down on a non-marring surface.
   Unsnap the bezel and pivot it open.
   • To replace the general illumination bulbs, unscrew the lamp holders and remove the bulb.
     
   • To replace the HI/LO bulb, cut the wires close to the bulb base, splice the wires to the new bulb and wrap the splice with electrical tape.

Thanks for the speedy reply. Any idea if there are replaceable bulbs on the manual (non-electronic) heat and a/c control?

 

All of the ones I have had apart had replaceable bulbs. That is up to the Manual and EATC 2001 models.

 

Thank you. Looks easy. Will post bulb sizes, etc. when the back lighting is restored.

 

Size 74 bulbs, you need two of them.

Pull off the plastic facade (grab around the vents)

There are four small bolts holding the HVAC unit in place

Simply pull the unit it out, bulbs pop into plastic carriers that screw into the rear.

 

Done! Thanks for the reponse

 

In case anyone else reads this thread 194 bulbs will also work.
