hello again,
SO it was the bulbs... good guess eh? anyways...
to get at them, you need to take out the following things pretty much in order....
Radio, and/or equilzer
all Console cubbys
auto. Climate control unit...
seat heater switches...
acc temp sensor
insturment dimmer switch
fog light switch
all blank switches
a few screws that hold the dash fascia in
the entire dash plate itself
the screws that hold the insturment cluster in (top left and right of cluster)
every wire connection to the insturment cluster... there are about 5-10 of them depending on your model/year
the insturment cluster (very difficult to manuver out of dash)
Then once it's out bring it inside... turn it over and you'll see where the bulbs get replaced on the back of the edu.
There are no other bulbs in the car you can swap them with... i'm not even sure where to get the replacements... maybe an auto parts store?
So, to get all that stuff out, is the better part of 2 hours, if youre working carefully and keeping track of all screws/parts
putting back together is sometimes faster, once you
ve figured everything out... however, things might not fit back together the way they should right away...
3-4 hour job at LEAST, IF you can find the bulbs... good luck
