    Just a bad LED. Which can happen. There will allways be a risk when you mod your truck.

    Was wondering how you did the A/C controls. I get back from the deployment in June and will be having you do this for me.

    Hey Mike i wanted to post this in your thread for future people. Hopefully this isn't a re-post from another thread.

    The Automatic shifter bulb size is T5. the one i bought was [FONT=&quot][/FONT]http://www.amazon.com/SMT-Mini-Wedge-Bulb-White-1408WH/dp/B002XIQGR8
    That LED required some modifications... just sand down the edges a little (to round out the bottom) and keep test fitting it.

    The climate controls are no joke. It's not easy by any means. And they are easy to mess up.

    I can help ya do it on the next mod day we have. But in intells printing out new labels too.

    why dont you just do what i do???

    buy the 3mm led itself, solder a 480 ohm resistor to it then solder it to the terminals where the bulb suppose screws into??
    that what the 3mm led actually faces the "display" or button cover and shows what it is (fog, locker, A-LSD etc)
