I was busy changing my A/C Controls to White LEDs. But in order to make the Demister and A/C buttons white, i had to do some custom wiring of my own ....
long story short, i accidently short circuited the demister switch....I got a new switch and it works......but the LED on that always burns out after about 30mins of being on, I already burnt out 2 LEDs (i checked and there is nothing wrong with my wiring).
I am guessing i must have damaged something else along the line with that short circuit before
so in order to illumate that switch, my idea is to add some extra wires the go into the switch to power the LED, from the A/C Panel lights....
currently the a/c panel is being illumated by a 74 LED (totally seperate from the demister switch light), is there a way i could double up on that wire and make it power 2 bulbs/leds, without any problems? if so, anybody know how a noob can simply wire it? or should i get a pro to do it?
i was thinking i would need resistors, BUT....what confuses me is that.....I also did the LED conversion to the A/C Button, which i assume has the same amp and voltage.....and that hasnt burnt out .....
Also, I know these LED Bulbs have resistors built in....
so i still reckon i busted something on the Demister Switch when i shorted it out before
so i have another possible alternative i have devised ::
sorry about the drawing, i whipped it up in like 5mins :lol:
since the problem is with the demister switch, am i able to forget about that....and run the extra LED off the wires from the A/C Control Panel? and then put the extra LED inside the Demister switch (which i can do).
Ok, i have a question for ya. I have a 92 camry and am having problems doing the same thing you did. I can get everything apart except for this little rod that connect the switch to accept air from the outside or not. You can see the rod im talking about it the picture below. How do I disconnect that?
i just left that cable that you specified attached...
the cable is flexible so i just unscrewed everything and moved the whole panel out sideways, therefore i could reach the things at the back :
