so basically my climate control only lights up once and a while. and as soon as i move the fan speed or temp levers the lights shut of. i was wondering what could be wrong. is it a bulb or a fuse? i just want to kno so i can avoid tearing into my climate control if i dnt have to. i personally think it was a bulb burning out or something cuz it started turning on less and less and now it doesnt light up at all anymore

any help would be awesome

 

would you happen to have a 92-95 model civic? because that is very common on those civics, its usually because the bulb IS burning out, those bulbs usually have a blue tint over them to make a white light output, but this tint is a thick rubber and causes the bulbs to burn out rather shortly compared to untinted bulbs, your best bet would have to be replacing the bulb/bulbs, its fairly difficult to get into those climate controls, it was a pain for me, but thats only IF you have a 92-95 civic. while youre in there i would recommend replacing the other bulbs as well

 

i actually own a 94 integra (which has a climate control that is somewhat difficult to get into w/o breaking something) but i'll most likely change the bulbs in there anyways.
thanks for you info with the tinted bulbs tho
