On my 95 SE, the light behind my Hazard lights and the light behind my A/C dial are both out. Anyone know the reason for this and how I may be able to change them? It would be nice to have them working again just because It looks a little dark on that side of the dash at night.

man the light behind my climate controls

have been out for years.....if you find out how to change the bulbs, let me know....as a matter of fact, my blower only works on 4, none of the other speeds does a thing....i wonder what that is?

easy to change bulbs....

you just take out the screws and pull out the dash.(really easy and straight forward) Then you pull out your guage cluster....kinda have to jimmy it out a bit. Unplug the sensors from the back and all the bulbs are labeled on the back. Just have to go and buy the itty-bitty bulbs like your corner lights by your turn signal. If you run into any problems let me know. The bulbs just twist out like headlight bulbs......later

Che: As far as your blower goes,

try taking out the A/C unit and check the connector behind the switch, if it is corroded, best bet is to get a new switch. That's what was wrong in my Altima.

I pulled the dash, and got the wiring harness off the back of the hazard switch. The problem I am having is getting the relay or whatever it is that the harness is attached to. I tried everything to get it out, and no matter how hard I press the side button, it won't budge. I don't want to break it so I am hesitant of yanking really hard on it. Any suggestions?

Also, There isn't any bulds thatI can see behind the switch to turn on the A/C. It doesn't look like the metal circular thing below the wiring harness can be removed. Am I just not seeing something?
