Climate Control Lights..

[trickyazn]

after i brought in my car to the dealer for trouble with my alarm, my left climate control suddenly doesnt work anymore.. the "lo-med-hi" one doesnt light up until you smack it.. the other light controls work fine. anyone has similar problems? or people that changed the led's have any clues? I dont wanna bring it back to the dealership cause they might charge me..

mine does the samething. It stays dark, till I smack it. You could try changing the bulbs or it may be a loose wire. It bothered me for a while, but I found bigger things to worry about.

yah, mine's been doing that since last year when I tried changing the bulb color, but it (the bulb) wouldn't fit so I placed the old bulb back on and it started doing the same thing.

Any idea what size bulb fits? Think I used a 74 and it was too big. Changing the bulb should fix it, since I swiched the bulbs around to see if it was the bulbs' problem or the wiring and it was definately the bulb.

its so random that THAT led bulb ran out for all of us.. i thought leds last a long time..

anyways do i need to solder any of the leds on or is it just pop it in and itll work (like dome lights)?

^Its not an LED its a #74 bulb. The bulb is a wedge bulb and the socket/bulb are poorly design so after enough miles the car's vibration will make it come loose. The same thing happened to me.
