i have a 96 civic cx, one day i was driving at night and i realized my climate control lights werent working, so i looked at all the runing light fusses and they were fine, the leds for the buttons still light up, but not all the surounding buttons
sombeody help, i dont know what could be wrong

 

Did you cluster lights go out too? If so, the problem probably lies with your dimmer switch. If not, maybe replace the climate control bulbs.

cluster lights are fine, i just put a ls integra cluster in, it works great, im so happy with it,
but this happened even before i put the new cluster in

do you think that both of the bulbs could have gone out at once, or could it be a short in one of the wires/connections?

 

chances are there might be a short. grab a voltage meter and get started.

take the climate control out, get a repair manual and read where the power source is for the bulbs then start trouble shooting from there. what ever you do don't cut any wires, use the harness to read the wires.

 

Mine are out too. But i like how it looks at night. It could be that one of the bulbs went out and is causing the other not to light, say if they're lit in series but im not sure.
