a/c light burnt out

Driving home last night, I noticed the fan speed selector is burnt out. The actual little "o" for the selected fan speed is lit, but the rest of it is dark. Any suggestions on how to replace the bulb itself? Knowing dealerships, I'm sure if I took it to them, it would cost me several hundred dollars for an entire new board, when it's probably a $5 light bulb. Just don't know how to approach this fix. Any suggestions? I found a similar problem on a Gen 3 version via the search, but not for the 4th generations....

Many thanks all!

I JUST did this fix...and it's very simple. I went to the dealer and bought a bulb for 4 bucks (i think). Call before you just go over, they had to special order that bulb for me.

Simply open the compartment above the cup holders and pull up, that releases that compartment. Look at the bottom of the controls and there is a single bolt that has to be removed with a phillips. Then get a grip and a good tug and mine popped right out. Find the right bulb, that one will have a green cap, a quarter turn with a screwdriver pulls it out and all you have to do then is put the bulb in and tighten the new bulb. 5 Minutes total work time I'd say.

Excellent, thanks A10MileHusker! That's what I needed to know. I'll order the bulb today and fix it this weekend!
