    I just replaced a light bulb in the HVAC controller and now all I'm blowing is hot air (literally). All of the other controls work and yet when I turn the temp dial, I go from hot to very hot.

    Any ideas?

    Maybe you knocked the control for the AC loose, have you had it back out to verify everything is hooked up correctly? I had mine out for the same issue and when reinstalled I had no issues.

    :facepalm:Yeah, that's what it was.

    I pulled the console off again and the HVAC control cable wasn't fully inserted into the controller. It works just fine now.

    Good deal, it had to be simple just because of the time line.

    Where did you find the bulbs? I tried doing an LED upgrade to it but it would not light up...not sure what happened. Either way i am still trying to find replacement bulbs for the HVAC display.

    led bulbs only work one direction, if they don't like simply turn them 180 degrees and then they will work.
