well might have messed something up

After painting some interior trim pieces black, take note of the AC trim panel, the AC lights dont work. the avtual AC and other Vent thingy light work. but the temp, fan speed and location or whatever you call it do not work, could i have a blown a fus, but then wouldnt all of them not work?

 

sounds like you left something not hooked up in the back,check that the wiring harnesses are all plugged in

 

yep, triple checked, there are only 2 plugs on the back of the AC panel and they arent interchangeable....

 

possible some how blow a fuse?

 

hmm but the actual a/c button light works....

 

The button would be on a different fuse.

But I would think that the dial backlighting would be on the same fuse as the dash lights.

 

well im just going to go out on a limb and say that. I blew a fuse doing the 4x4 illuminated switch thing and it blew one fuse whitch took out my raido, and my tail lites so, its kinda weird how its all connected, may want to doible check.
never hurts at this point

 

sorry for the grammer and spelling-its almost bed time for me

 

i'll check the fuses tomorrow, ugh stuff like this bugs the crap outta me!

 

this shows where the fuse is incase ur searching (i cant sleep so helping helps a bit lol )

this just shows the fusebox.

 

well the truck is going in for some last minute warranty work before the warranty expires so we will see what happens!

 

goodluck. i cannot see them voiding anything because you painted the pannels. It has nothing to do witht he electrical integrity of the actual system so i wouldnt be to worried, but hopefully your dealer are douches.

 

no they take care of me but ill do some testing in the morning and find out!

 

Check the bulbs removing the pieces and reinstalling can break the filaments in the bulbs

 

yes, the fucking 12.00 microscopic ones. I had one go out on the right hand dial that directs air flow. took panel back off and messed with it but it was burnt out. the idiots at the dealershit tried telling me that the recirc and letters on the ac button don't light up but they be fools. they do...bright indicator when in use and letters/ pic do light up. anyway the passenger side bulb lights up air flow dial and letters on ac button or completes a circuit so the ac button illuminates. the bulb didn't appear to be bad but the new one made it all better. didn't take the driver's side one out but guessing it runs temp and fan dials and completes circuit for recirc to light up.

 

Would love to help but not sure. What paint did you use though? I really wanna do this as well.
