Does your A/C still turn on? If so, then the bulb is burnt out. If not, you will have to diagnose why not.

burned out. They are available from the dealership and there is a how to somewhere on how to get to them to swap. The old ones will practically fall out while the new ones will be a really tight fit.

It shouldn't be that hard, just pull apart the climate control module and find the button/bulb you're looking for. It's more than likely held together with plastic snaps or small screws.

If only a utility existed that allowed you to type in anything you wanted and get millions of suggestions.

I do want to warn you that replacing the bulbs can end up in some of them not working. If its really important to you, then order extras.

yes replace all 3 while u have it opened up,

i did this already , adn same two burnt out again cpl years later, i think theres a more long term fix w like a solder , i feel one member figured out the real cause of the early burn outs.

Also the aftermarket bulbs your most likely getting from SBL they are not the correct size i have swapped out hundreds of sbl leds for the ones i make and i use 100% oem bulb holders.
