Centre Console Lights

[Thewolf]

How do I change the console lights? Do I have to take out the radio or the a/c control knobs? Because some of the lights work (very dim) and some of them don't, for example sometimes the light for the hot/cold temperature knob will click when it comes on, sometimes it doesn't come on at all. Also the lights below the knobs don't work too.

it all comes out in one piece with the bezel that surrounds the radio. you access the light from behind the bezel.

the hvac lights are a different beast. Check my sig for how to change/fix those.

Sounds like you just have a wiring problem though. Check your dimmer switch first.

My dimmer switch works fine, all lights light up inside my car expect the console lights. It seems to me that the bulbs are just burnt out. It's kinda weird because in the daytime the red part is red and at night with the lights on it lights up white, shouldn't it be red when it's being lit up?

[cherrington17]

what part are you talking about?

[Thewolf]

The hot/cold temperature knob light.

[cherrington17]

yes, they are suppose to light up in their respected colors at night.

[Thewolf]

Hmmm weird, because I've seen a picture on this thread and it lit up red.

Btw, I think that the dimmer switch is faulty because when I press on it the lights dim a little. Also my lights on the door don't work. So could it be a fuse instead?

[cherrington17]

nope, probably the dimmer. if its a fuse, you'd have no lights...anywhere.

and the red should be red and the blue should be blue.

[Thewolf]

Ok, I'll have to change the dimmer switch then. Btw, is that red thing on the door a light or just a reflector?

[Lucalare]

Just a reflector.

[Thewolf]

Oh ok my door lights work then (I thought that reflector was an light) btw when I tap my knob the lights come on so there's probably a short in the bulbs.
