    My light was out on the Vent Control so went to dealer to get bulb. Took it all apart reinstalled and not the other one is out :(

    Anyone else have the same issue? Thanks

    On the right hand side of the 3 dials there is a Dial that directs what vent the air goes to. There is a lightbulb that illuminates the Dial.

    Sure LEDs are nice and I have them in other spots on the truck. My issue was more has anyone else experienced the same issue with replacing one and the other goes. Dealer was $10 and repaired the same day except for the other one LOL

    On mine only the left dial is out and when I hit it, it comes on. Would replacing the bulbs fix it? Sounds more like a short.

    I you think about it, they are all on at the same time usually, so if one burns out the others probably aren't far behind.
    Now, if this section were difficult to open, I would replace all of them so I'd only have to go in once. Being that its pretty easy to pop it off, one at a time isn't bad to replace.

    I ended up ordering some LEDs and will replace both. The Recycle logo is out to but not even sure there is a bulb there. The AC logo has light but the Fan Dial is out......weird
