Climate Control Backlighting Instantly Went from Fine to Dead??
 
I know it’s common to have to replace one or more of the bulbs behind the climate control panel. In fact, I had to replace one when I bought my truck in 2014. It’s been working fine ever since - until today. I had the dash apart to get to the radio and when I got everything back together, the climate control backlighting was dead. I took the panel back off and made sure the plug and receptacle were okay, no bent pins or anything, and fully seated. If there’s a fuse responsible, I couldn’t find which one it is. Just seems very odd that both bulbs would fail instantaneously,

Anybody else have this happen?

Yup, took my dash apart to install a ram mount. When I put every back together the climate readout and all 4 of the button lights stopped working. Replaced the bulbs and all was good.
I think the bulbs are just fragile and being a bit aggressive with remove and reinstall broke the filaments.

Thanks, I'll replace them and see if that's the deal.

Update: it was the bulbs. Just surprised they both blew at the same time.
