    really sorry for asking this , got bogged down searching honestly . Can someone tell me , or link me to a thread that will "correctly " give me part numbers for some burned out dash bulbs ?

    Half my AC control panel is dark , and a few of the switches (diff lock, Rsca, etc. ) are out . Would like to get a stash of bulbs before I stop and take things apart .

    Thanks for the help

    Welp read some old posts saying every switch uses different bulb ... That makes no sense to me . But whatever I guess I'll figure it out

    @Jimmyh I have a similar issue (fan speed dial, fog lights, DAC instrument panel lights are out). Same bulb for every light? Just buy a mess of these and I'm good to go?

    Thanks!

    I have had the same problems with the bulbs on my HVAC controls. I believe the bulbs are okay, but they draw so little current, even very slight corrosion on the contacts will inhibit continuity. I used a product called DeoxIT to clean my contacts and restore my dash lights. DeoxIT D5 available on Amazon for around $12 a can...

    Well, yah... In computers and radio my first step is always to disconnect/reconnect, so I can see there's a good chance that's the case. Maybe I'll give 'er a go here this coming week. Thanks!

    Still curious: are the bulbs all the same on the 2010 TRD Off Road?

    I noticed my HVAC bulbs were out, purchased some #74 bulbs and found they were different than a #74. I think they are a T4 or at least a t4 base.
    I gave my dash a bump :) with my hand and all lights came on. Now sometimes they are are all out or maybe just one. So possibly as you were saying it could be corrosion. I am having trouble finding decent priced bulbs so I'll check for corrosion first. Thanks.
