when the instrument lights up(turning on the headlights; thus, turning on the lights for dash, cd, clock, etc etc), my temp controls-- OFF, INDOOR VENTILATION, buttons dont light up. The buttons below the clock and above the cd player.

They are supposed to light up right? If they do, whats wrong? Do i have to change the bulbs?

p.s. I took out the whole clock instrument (portion above the temperature control.) to see the inside of my cd player.. I believe i didn't plug something in all the way or something.... HELP!!!!!!

The bulbs burn out over time. I'm sure that almost everyone has at least one out. It's normal.

If it did, 9 times out of ten it was because something was missed during the procedure. It is normal for lights to burn out, but rarely a bunch all at once. It is usually due to something that was done or not done that causes such things to happen.

So what should I do? should i take it to a dealer and fix it? Bet it will cost alot if i ask those guys.,. Is this self-doable? That portion was the only portion I couldn't take out. If anyone has suggestions, please reply..

i thought

i had burned all the bulbs in my instrumentation BUT it was just the fuse, just take out the fuse and check if it still connected if not u need a new one. fuse box is on the left of the steering column.

do you know which fuse it is? or is it labeled? the buttons are: AUTO,ECON,OFF,TEMP,FRONT WINDOW DEFOGGER, ETC. Everything in the clock portion.

Guess you just have to check them all.
