Got light on my dash got dome lights but the lights to my hearter/ac controls and around that area dont work. How do i fix these lights, its getting winter again and would like to get this fixed. thanks.
I would check to see if the fuse is blown that controls these lights. The fuse box should be located on the drivers side of the vehicle on the lower dash.
I am pretty sure the illumination of gauges and controls is all run off of the Tail fuse. When you turn on the marker/tail lights or head lights then the illumination should all come on. Make sure the tail fuse is good and the tail lights come ON when you turn on the head lights. does your speedometer light come on ok? if yes then the circuit is working. If it is just the a/c controls that don't light then it could be that the bulb is simply burned out. Also remember that there is a rheostat wheel/knob on the dash somewhere that controls the brightness. if it is turned all the way down the lights will be OFF. Turn it up. If still no lights then check to see if the rheostat is failed open. If it is just the bulb then you have to get the console apart enough to get behind the a/c control and find the little bulb that lights them up. Re-reading your question it sounds like you have dash lights so it is probably just the a/c area bulb. Dome is on different fuse dome fuse. It is always hot so when you open doors the dome lights come on. Tail fuse is cold until you switch on the marker/tail/head lights.
