Last week the right side of my climate controls stopped lighting up. I turned the car off and when I got back into it I noticed driving down the road the light wasn't lit... not sure what happened.

Any hoo, I checked the MOSFET fuses and tried switching the two 7.5a fuses to see if it was a bad fuse... and it still didn't work...

any ideas? not really a huge problem, just an annoyance and makes it look low quality.

willing to try any suggestions

Uhh, same thing happened to me.
1. Does your cig. light work?
2. Does your dimmer do anything?

If you answered no to these, you blew a mosfet in the gauge cluster. 2way sells the mosfet and he has instructions on how to fix this. (THANKS AGAIN 2WAY :)

Just the right side of the A/C panel? Probably a blown bulb. The p/n for the A/C bulbs is in the bulb sticky at the top of this forum section.

Yeah, I think the bulb is just blown... The cig lighter an dimmer all works. I've never messed with the gauge cluster so I didn't think it would be that.

Thanks 2 way
