    I think the a/c might be a loose wire where you would pull it out.

    I changed the led on the shift knob and put the old one back in possibly wired backwards, any help here guys? Somebody told me you can't wire an led backwards... so I followed that advice.

    using a screwdriver pull out the that piece with all the climate controls on it and change the tiny little bulbs in the back of it. i think there should be like 3 of them.

    Googled it, and I now know why that one isn't lighting up.

    Irregardless I'm having a hard time thinking that all 3 a/c bulbs would go bad at once... and I have pulled them allot and I was wondering if anybody had any other input on why they might not be lighting up.

    There's only two bulbs in the climate control. Usually only one will go out or they can both become lose and the connection is lost. Try tapping the control and see if the lights come back on. Here's a link for the bulbs of they a bad. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-White...-Light-1-2835-SMD-LED-10mm-Bulb-/221548410008

    I fixed it, the wire harness just wasn't seated well enough behind the a/c controls and it also turned on the control stick's led.
