Climate Control Lighting

[alxlll34]

My lights on my climate control are out. I'm tired of guessing which button does what in the dark. Does anyone know how to get the lights to work?

Pull it outta the dash and replace the bulbs.

Or buy a working one from a junk CB

Seems kinda silly to buy a possibly good working CC from a junk car and swap the whole unit out to replace burned out bulbs with another set of 20 year old bulbs.

[sonikaccord]

It is, but it's much easier than replacing the bulbs. Just another option.

Or he could memorize what the buttons are and not worry about the lamps

how hard is it to replace the bulbs I wonder?

[ambientwater]

i would just go to the jk and spend some time removing the bulbs from a few different cb's because a lot of the bulbs are burnt out. I even thought mine were burned out but sometimes they turn on if i hit a hard enough bump. Don't go wasting your money on a CC. or the best and most effective way to convert the to led's you might be able to just buy them from superbrightleds.com or https://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/...cluster-gauge/ I think they are NEO3 or 4 not sure , but try and get ones that are 360 angle so that there is no hot spots. Other than that it's pretty easy replace them.

Replacing the bulbs is not hard, they just twist out. You could go nuts and do the LED conversion. Or just buy 2 new bulbs from Honda. Then you know they will work.

Removing the unit is 99% of the work, once you have it out, the bulbs simply twist out and take seconds to replace.

You just have to be careful about the temperature knob cable bolted to the back of the HVAC unit with the 3 phillips screws. If you pull too hard when initially trying to get the unit out of the dash, it'll break the 21 year old housing's plastic ears holding the cable to the HVAC unit

You can basically do everything up to that point with a regular phillips head screw driver and small jewelry screwdriver to get the vents out from the dash garnish.

Step one is to remove the dash garnish and the 13 or whatever screws holding it in, then its an easy 4 screws holding the HVAC and out it comes. Make sure to have a good LED light to see what you're doing or do it in bright daylight, you'll need to see where everything goes before you remove stuff after the unit is out.

I pick up switch bulbs when I am at the junkyard and 90% of them are bad. For the entry fee and amount of time to take one apart it would be easier to just go to the dealer. Brand new bulbs are much better than 20+ year old bulbs which will probably fail shortly after you put them in.

Do a DCC conversion
