Hi group:
My wife's 2000 New Beetle GS has the lights out in the heating-air conditioning module on the dash board.
During night driving, without the lights, it's very difficult to see the three (3) controls below the radio.
I looked in the Chilton and Haynes repair manuals for the car and they both say the same thing: these bulbs are NOT user replaced and have to be serviced by Mr. VWWrench.
I asked one of our local VW dealer's service writer about this problem and he suggested that I'd have to leave the car so that the problem could be "researched." This seemed like a very poor answer to what I assumed is a common problem...a light or a group of lights have burned out in the heating-air conditioning module.
Do any readers of this newsgroup have any experience with this problem?
