Thread: '04 GTP climate control backlights

Half of the back lights in my climate control module are burned out. I've had the assembly out in my hands, and taken the back cover off, but I don't see how to get to the front of the PCB. Do the knobs pull off? I pulled pretty hard with no luck, and wanted to check before I broke something off.

Thanks!

According to the parts catalog, those bulbs are not serviced separately.

I've got one burned out in my $250 control. Let me know if you figure out how to replace them without f'ing the board up.

I don't think I'll have a problem replacing the bulbs once I can get to the front of the circuit board. I'm sure I can find a bulb somewhere that will fit, just want to be sure I don't break the whole assembly trying to get it apart.

It's probably the same as radio bulb replacement. I haven't tried mine yet but I do have a dark spot on the far left side. Check the knob for hidden screw that may lock the knob onto the shaft. Then try to pull it out.

I'd experiment but I don't have a spare to play with and I like having working A/C while driving.
