EATC Buttons Backlights

I bought a 2004 EX and the EATC buttons do not light up, not a single one. Where could the issue be and is it repairable?

Thanks

IM having the same issue on my Harley Davidson F150. Some say there is a bulb that can be replaced. In my instance, I had an old lying around that I took apart. The bulbs were odd looking and soldered in. I found a company that you send it off and they send it back really quick. Like 50$ or so but I can’t stand lights that don’t work. Hope that helps.

Thanks! Sounds like I will tear mine apart and see if I am up to the soldering challenge!

Lights

What did you end up doing? I’m down to 2 lights in my Harley f150 and the company doesn’t do light repair. Ones are good for now in the x but it’s the same unit

I ordered some lights and will attempt to solder them in. Hopefully in a couple weeks. I will post back with pictures and hopefully a success story.
