'06 Sport 12V and climate display light don't work

[Burnsy87]

Grabbed (another) 2006 Sport back in May, and I'm finally truly getting annoyed that the 12V's next to the shifter and in the cargo area don't work, and the backlight for the climate control/clock does not work. The radio backlight works. Is there a similar fuse for all of this, or do I have really, really bad luck?

More than likely the fuse for the 12v are blown. I would suggest pulling the fuse and testing it.

You probably just need new bulbs in the display. It's a pretty common problem.

Also check out this thread - this is the one I used. Be forewarned that the little bulbs are $14 each from the dealer!

I bought all of mine from the dealer, can't remember the exact price but I've replaced several of those little bulb and never spend more than $1 each. It never ceases to amaze me how prices vary so wildly between dealers.

You can get these bulbs at Radio Shack. I replaced all the bulbs in mine with ones from there and they are like $3 for a 4 pack. They dont come with a base, its just a bulb and extended leads that you insert into the stock base.
