Dash light problems
Hello fellow Expy owners,
I'm new to the forum and also new to the 1999 Expy XLT that I picked up last weekend and I've got a couple of question on the dash lights. First, I've noticed that when I play a CD, the letters above button 3 & 4 do not light, but the number 3 & 4 work with listening to the radio. I'm assuming that there is a bulb that is out but not sure if it can be easliy changed. Not a real big deal though.
This second is the odometer. Twice since I've owned it, it has gone completely blank. I've noticed that when I dim the display, the odometer will go dark also. Can I just change a bulb for that also.
By the way, it's got 59,000, 5.4L, 4x4, only a 2 yr/24,000 powertrain warrenty remaining on it. The audio system is the premium system with the 6 disc changer in the console.
So far, I love this thing! Thanks.

Dash light problems
i'm not sure(i'll have to check) but certain buttons or parts of buttons change what is lit when you turn on the cd changer or if you flip in a tape(like any of us still have tapes)........it lits up the options for those buttons when you are playing cds.....ie ff, rewind, dolby nr, etc..........i hope this helps
sorry just read it closer....might have some burned out bulbs or loose conns......those dashes get really hot when she sits outside in the sun all day long............might be able to find a new/used one on ebay pretty cheap....
