Fixing your light on the HVAC controlerlaxman21 09-11-2009, 10:43 PM So where is the A/c or the rear defrost button? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00044.jpg Gotta turn on the lights to find them? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00045.jpg The first step is to remove the controls and take out the back four screws. Don't forget to remove the knobs...it won't come apart if you don't. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00052.jpg Remove the the two screw holding the circuit board to the panel front http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00053.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00054.jpg Find the light that are not working...The four on the upper board on the left. Next you must flip the board over and use a soldering iron to remove the burnt out lights and solder in new ones. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00050.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00049.jpg New on the left and old lights http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00051.jpg Make sure you test the controller before putting the dash back together...you might have to re-solder some of the lights as I did. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00047.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00048.jpg There, now I can find them http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00061.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00062.jpg BTW, There is a chevy and Olds controller in the pictures. Olds on the top. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00056.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v448/therealsundance/DSC00058.jpg When I went to first tackle this job, I couldn't get the controller apart because I didn't pull the knobs off the front. So I got a second controller for $10, but all the same lights were burnt out. So, I figured I could break one. And then I figured out the magic of knob removal!
