Air Cond. Back light out!

[wtbaucom]

03 LTD: My light is out on my one of my air switches (the round dials). I went to the dealer and they said they would have to pull the center part of the dash out and it would be $100.00. Anyone else had this problem on a 03 + yet? Has anyone ever changed theirs on their own? OR how much did it cost to fix???
Thanks......

I have an 03 and my back light for my display panel (where it tells you your mpg) seems to flicker. It isn't out but I will be having them replace it. Let us know what you find out.

The center console isn't hard to remove, but I'm not sure if you can change out the bulbs back there. It's worth a shot if you don't want to spend $100 on the dealer removing it.

Here's a link on how to do it: http://www.castulucci.com/projects/carpc/oemnaviaccess/

That link is a great write-up. Kudos to the person who did it, took the time to take all those pictures. And thanks for posting the link.

flickering information back light

Hello,

I had the same problem of the information display panel (where it shows the temp and MPG) back light flickering in my 05 Sport edition. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the entire panel under warranty.
