Backlight for AC panel not working

The rear backlight for my AC panel does not seem to be working. ie the green backlighting fuse seems to be blown. The rest of the backlighting seems to work fine ie cruise/bose/doors etc

I was at the local Nissan dealership getting some work done and asked the mechanic. He told me that the there is no fuse for the AC panel just for the entire center console.

Anyone know if that is true and if that is the case do I need to rip the whole panel out to fix the problem or is there really a fuse I can just replace.

I don't believe there is a seperate fuse for the display. I hope it isn't out needing replacement. Maybe you can unplug everything from the back of it and hope that somehow resets it, otherwise I think you're sol.

Do you have autoclimate control, or manual? I've noticed with my autoclimate control then I have a light out near my on, econ, auto, buttons. I can't see them at night. I need to rip it apart and get a new light in there.

Perhaps yours is manual and the connection is bad? Unpluged?

Mine has an auto button but sets to manual anytime I adjust airflow/climate area. So yes it is an Automatic

I assume you mean rip out the center console to get to the problem. I might have to end up doing just that

Yep pull the panel apart and pull the face off of the controls. I have a light out so I know they are getting power, its just a led/bulb? If none of them work it could just be unpluged? I find that hard to believe, I'd think that if it were unplugged then none of your controls would work? Really I dunno?
