The light for the AC temp controls is burned out. I need to find out how to remove and replace the bulb. Any and all help would be appreciated.

John, i'm pretty sure you access it by siding your radio out. You know, the usual "have your security code handy" precaution. After you have the radio pulled out, reach in and feel around for clip type release on the left side of the a/c panel. I don't remember if there's one on the right, don't think so, it should pop out easily. Disconnect the cable and connectors, again note which ones go where, and remove the panel, the bulb is accessed by removing a small backing plate. Sorry, can't help you with the bulb part #. Good luck!

p.s. let me know if the blue a/c switch (the one w/the snowflake on it) can be fixed. Mine doesn't always stay in, i usually use the recirc button when the blue button pops back out. But that's minor compared to my other a/c problems lately :-(
