[MrSo0h0o]

I think it is a LED. Please ID auto/manual controls, Gen 5/6. Thanks.

its a tiny little bulb actually....
mine blew out a while ago and i just called around to a few dealers and found one that had the bulbs in stock....to remove the a/c panel, take a small flathead screwdriver and cover the end in tape, and press gently unde rthe edge of the climate control poanel, and it will pop right out....once its out, disconnect the wiring harness and there will be three small ovular compartments with slots in them big enough for a small scredriver....locate the one thats behind the burned out control, and use a small screwdriver to gently twist and the small assembly will come out with the bulb....the whole small circle assembly is part of the bulb. so it cant be bought at autozone....
i tried believe me haha
i will take pictures if u want....just give me a lil bit as im fooling with my xmas tree as well

thanks man sounds good.. i thought it would be something i could pick up at an autozone or something.. maybe they will even have some spares laying aorund and they will give one to me for free! yea right haha

[CharmCityES]

haha i get free shit all the time, i work for a toyota dealer!
issue was tho, my dealer didnt have it so i had to go buy one at the dealer a few towns over from me....meh....worth it not to have to order one tho

Hey Mr. S tap on the panel itself to see if it lites up,if it does then the bulb could be loose.It happened to me but I never fixed the problem correctly b/c I traded in the vehicle.

[CharmCityES]

^yah mine does that from time to time as well

[MrSo0h0o]

nah i pulled the 2 bulbs that light up the panel and switched them and the same bulb doesnt light up. odd tho b/c the bulb itself looks fine..

[CharmCityES]

mine was like that as well....the filament is probably damaged

Hi CorCamrySE,

Just to confirm is this the climate control panel you removed? Where exactly did you place the screwdriver to get it out?

Thanks.

there's a blue thingy that hold the bulb on the far right, just screw it out and another one near the white harness plug

and there is litttle arrow that show where to what to screw out

Thanks - I was actually referring to how to get the climate control panel out of the dash in the first place. I grabbed the photos from a website. I printed out the steps from camrymanuals (now deceased ) and it showed screws underneath it in the dash but I can't see any.

Do you know how to take the panel out?
