Thread: Dual Climate Control Lights

Took out my climate control module today thinking I'd open it up and it would be pretty similar to the regular HVAC module in these cars... no.

I have an 08 with dual climate control. I have attached pics of the issue, which is common I am sure.... but it bothers me and so I wanted to fix it. This light is smaller than the one on the writeup and I really don't know how to get it out. I don't want to screw it up. This is probably the point I should put it back together and forget about this but it bugs me.

The culprit:


Now from the inside: (It's beside the barcode)

Now from the side opposite this:

(The small black rectangles in the center of the photo).

I really want to fix this issue, as it is bothering me, but I don't want to unsolder something and ruin it, either. HAHA.

Isn't pretty but it's done, and it works. In case anyone else has a dual zone climate control and needs to replace those... here are the pics.

The side with the resistor is, of course, positive.




Only LEDs I had were red. Oh well, it will be better than "burnt out".
Figured I couldn't ruin it any worse than it was. It was already burnt out, only thing I could possibly do was cause a short. Worst part about it was taking those blasted 3/16 hex screws out.

Time for a coffee as a reward since my 2 year old is here... no adult beverage for me. LOL.

Yes I had to replace about 6 bulbs in my Radio and climate control... For those in particular I used 12V/50mA Incandescent Bulb - RadioShack.com they fit almost perfectly no resistor necessary
