My local facebook group gave me super aids.
I lasted a year on there before I deleted it. Chalk full of toxic, triggered, insecure people who would rather sit in a parklot vaping talking about what they bought for their trucks as opposed to wheeling in the desert. Then you have all the retards screaming about which puppet they voted for in 2016. It was pathetic.
Buuuut I digress f*k facebook, op this should help...
AJT Climate Control Knobs DIY: An Interior Upgrade For 5th Gen 4Runner
Looks like the light is behind the knob assembly and the orange piece draws in light from a lamp in the whole AC button assembly piece. It take two seconds and almost no tools to pop it out of the center console. Just unplug it from the harness and take a look at the back.
Here's the back of a 4th gen unit with the bulbs circled.
so if it doesnt work can you replace the bulbs? Or does the entire unite need to be replaced?

Those red circled things are the bulbs. You just twist them counter clockwise a quarter turn and they come out.

Did you ever figure out how to get the orange indicator light on this knob working? Mine went out some time ago, now it's not under warranty. Does anyone know of a fix? Please email me [email protected]
Thanks

I have the same problem with the orange indicator light on the AC light being out. Because this post shows up in any Google search related to this I figured I'd share what I've learned.
This style of AC controller isn't that common, 2016 +/- a year or two.
I removed and fully disassembled this assembly yesterday. There is no bulb, it is a led soldered to a circuit board. This lines up with another thread talking about upgrading to leds and that this is a soldered led. While I might be able to solder a new led in, this is outside of my DIY skill set. Also it was in a tricky location recessed being the AC button.
Going through Toyota parts this assembly is only sold as a unit, no parts within it. It sells for about $600. Searching ebay I find the assemblies from junked 4Runners are going for $125. I appreciate the ebayers including the picture of 4he crashes 4Runnwr in the listing.
So yeah I'm spending $125 to repair the little orange indicator light.
I post this in the hopes that someone can tell me how wrong I am and someone else is pointed to an cheaper solution.

Light will not turn off on ac knob. Did you ever find out what the problem was
[My light on my ac on 5th generation 4runner will not turn off either. Did anyone find out what problem may be.
QUOTE=JimPy;3649382]New owner here, 2016 5th Gen. My AC knob light stays on, won't turn off when I push the button. AC works fine, cool air no problem. But shouldn't the light on the knob turn off when I push the button? So just normal , uncooled air will blow[/QUOTE]

Customize climate control knob
I’m looking to change the little orange plastic insert on my climate control knob to blue..
It redirects the led light and colors it orange on the knob.
I want mine to be blue! Lol. But for reals.
It would be a super easy swap, but I can’t find the part anywhere. It could even be easily printed on a 3d printer. Where could I find the dimensions specs for this little plastic insert ?
Anyone know where I can buy the knob insert piece in blue instead of om orange??
