Is there anyway I can fix this? At first, I was able to play around with the controls then both sides would be illuminated. Now that solution don't work anymore and the left side of the HVAC controls won't light up.

I did a search and it wasn't quite helpful, mostly modding the lights.

Have anyone encounterd this problem and fixed it?

I think it's cuz the lights are no good anymore, so maybe the modding guide would help u to change 'em. Someone plz correct me if I'm wrong.

ITs a very common problem in the gen 4's. Happen to me as well. THe HVAC bulbs are 2 #74 wedge bulbs that fit into a socket and i imagine over time, they wiggle loose. Only solution is to go in their and replace them. or do my LED mod.

All u need to do is pop off the center console trim, pull off the 3 HVAC knobs, under the hidden screws under them and pop off the HVAC cover. Its not too bad.
