Questionhow do you access the panel that is above the ashtray where the heater indicator positions are for the heater/AC panel? It is bad at night when you cannot see the position of the dials because te light is burned out. I need to change the bulb. It would be nice if you could include the lamp type also.
AnswerHi John,
Standard mini-bulbs that are available at Walmart or AutoZone or wherever you choose to purchase your auto accessories.
Had you include what type of vehicle you are working on I'd probably be able to be more specific. If you are working with a late-model vehicle, you probably need to remove a plastic trim panel surrounding the gauge cluster to get access to the fasteners holding the climate control head to the dash.
Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).
Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
