    Howdy, I was trying to fix the lights in my AC module but while taking the bulb out the flat wire ribbon popped out. I pushed it in but now only one of the 3 lights work and all are new, also my heat won't come on. Do you think accidentally pulling the ribbon out ruined the AC module and it needs to be replaced? If so any ideas of were to buy a new one and the cost. Thank you so much for your help! Pictures attached. thanks!

    Hey the same thing just happened to me, did you ever figure out the issue?
    Edit: To anyone who stumbled upon this thread, I found out that the ribbon cable can be reconnected if it accidentally comes out of it's socket. Just be patient and try not to bend the blue end. I also found that the bulbs would come on only if I tapped on the climate control faceplate. Replacing the bulbs with T4 wedge-type LEDs fixed the issue.
