Default airconditioner control lights

why won't my airconditioner control lights work? We have checked the fuses and they are good.

Are some or all of them not working? If some, the lamps have failed due to age and need to be replaced. If you are handy with a soldering iron, they can be done easily.

I agree, are we talking about background lighting or the display(Auto HVAC Type) ?

the air conditioner and heater , defrost all work , but the display panel showing what you have it set on is black. So I just have to push buttons until I get the correct setting (defrost, front air vent etc..) and turn the ***** until I get the right temp. Nothing is lit up.

Ok, here somewhere in the forum is a nice picture of the internals of the hvac display unit. There are some micro resistors on there that probably need resoldering. The other option of course is to buy a new head unit but its your checkbook, not mine.
