I just bought a 97 SE recently, and ive noticed at night my climate control buttons dont light up, but the display does and the A/C and and Heating etc works like its supposed to. Is this normal, or is there something messed up with my climate control unit?

 

I dont have a real answer for your question, but I will say that all my climate lights went out at one point but the rest of the lighting in my center console was fine. This seems to be a common problem though since I recall seeing a few other posts like this so hopefully someone else will chime in since I don't remember the details. Goodluck

 

hte lights in the ACC are weak. ever sinve I bought my car they were burnt out. I replaced mine with leds.

 

Do you have digital climate control? or regular. If its digital I have a replacement unit for you. PM Me

 

uhhh, you dont need to buy a new head unit to fix this. you just need new bulbs for hte buttons.

 

I have the same problem. It's the bulb lights. One went out, then the rest went out soon after. I am going to replace them with LED's, but havent had the time since I wan't to do the whole interior at once.

 

Yep, I had this problem. It's just the bulbs burned out.

Part number 28529-0P000, there are 4 of them in there. I *strongly* recommend replacing all 4 even if they aren't all burned out, cuz likely the old ones will blow once you put new ones in and turn it on; and the cost of the bulbs is very small.

Replacing is not hard, but time consuming.

1. Pull out the clock/vent piece
2. Pull out shifter trim
3. Remove ashtray
4. Loosen the climate control / stereo combo (or remove if you'd like)
5. Get the climate control unit out separately
6. Replace the bulbs (they're the plastic holder type, come out by half a twist)

Then reassemble in reverse order.

Unless of course you want LEDs...then talk to all these other guys here

Hope this helps.

 

As AcEO said, its just the bulbs that need replacing. I got mine from Jerry Rome Nissan - I couldn't find anything at the auto store and the local dealer wanted $6 per bulb

 

how much were the bulbs from JR nissan?

 

I got all 4 for < $15 shipped. They were ~$3 a piece.

 

But I don't think JR nissan is doing discounted parts anymore - so contact Dan Tech at Midway Nissan Parts (midwaypartsteam.com) - he has a thread in the group deals section - tell him njmodi sent you and he'll get you excellent discounted prices too.

 

still kind of a lot. I got a bag of 100 leds for $10 and did my whole interior.

 

That happened to me before, I think I paid like 2.79 a bulb at westbury nissan and there were 4 i believe.

 

Thanks guys, at least i know whats wrong now. What sized bulbs/LEDs are they?
