Dash light for vent knob does not work

Does the climate control module sit right above the radio? There are two different configurations. One more difficult then the other.

I have the radio on the bottom, on top of that is the trip computer and cup holder section and on top of that is climate control section with the 3 knobs. The top section is the vents and emergency flashers.

With my luck I have the more difficult one!

Thanks,

Ed

I will check on this and get back to you on 10-26.

With the engine off, apply the parking brake and move the shifter down into first gear. Next look for the two release tabs on both sides of the radio. Push them in far enough for them to pop out. Pull both tabs out as far as they will go and pull the radio out. Before you disconnect the connectors and antenna cable(s) make sure you have the radio code. If you can't find it a call to the dealer should get it for you. Behind the radio you will see one philips head screw. Remove the screw. Next gently pry the climate control face plate off. Pry only on the four outer corners. Remove the four screws on the corners of the unit. The panel below the climate head should move away far enough for you to get the head out. Before you disconnect the head, put the trans back into park and remove the key from the ignition, it may set a code if you unplug it while its still powered up. Unplug the connectors and pull off the plastic tube. You should see the three bulbs in the back. Remove them by turning about a quarter turn. The part number for the bulbs should be

30618412. Replace all three while your in there. Reassmble it all, put in the radio code and your good to go. It may sound hard but its really easy once you do.

I tried it today and I got to the bulbs with no problems. I tried the dealer for the bulb and they want $11.00 for one tiny little bulb. I can't find that number on the Web anywhere. Any idea as to where I can get one other than the dealer or is a specialty bulb, dealer only?

Thanks for all your help, Ed
