We have a 1986 Chevrolet Celebrity station wagon. The light bulb which illuminates the heater, vent, defrost, air conditioner is not working. How hard is it to have it fixed?
The service writer at Capitol Chevrolet says the bulbs just screw in and they can fix it for labor plus parts of $75 an hour with a 30 min. minimum of $37.50. I called a AAA approved garage named P&M Automotive and was asked if I had the factory stereo and I told them it had been replaced. They said that would make it more difficult and said $130.00 to $190.00 as an est. depending on how much dash they have to tear apart. Cap Chev mentioned nothing about having to remove the dash.
What's involved in changing the the bulb? I don't want to create more problems. I'm assuming it's not a fuse as other dash lights work. I figured some smart, knowledgeable guy here would know.
