Are both sides of the blower control unit meant to illuminate?
I pulled ours out to clean and lubricate it. I could only find one wire with a bulb under the dash and it was plugged into the right side blue lens. Is that correct? There are two lenses, so I'd expect to find two bulbs. If there is only one bulb, I'd expect it to go in the left red side. The car only has heat, no air. The owner's manual makes no mention of the lights. Just the sliders. Thanks for your help with my never ending stream of questions. I seem to fix one thing, then find two more that need attention...

How do you get to the bulb? Does the whole unit pull out, or is access from underneath the dash?

How do you get to the bulb? Does the whole unit pull out, or is access from underneath the dash? This is the same question I have . I think the whole unit has to be pulled. On my car (76) which has the center console gauges I found a string of three small lamps ,since the gauges all had lamps wasn't sure where they went . My high beam indicator doesn't work so I figured they went to the dash lamps but now I know they go to the fresh air controls . They do not work so maybe PO was trying to fix them and that is why they are pulled out. I want to get new bulbs and install them back in the control panel. So I too want to know how to remove the control panel so I don't break something . |
