How to remove climate control faceplate?
 
I suspect a bulb (or bulbs) going south as when the dash lights are illuminated, I have to occasionally tap on the climate control panel to get the knob bezels to illuminate.

Anyone know how to get to those bulb(s)? :confused:

Thanks in advance.

If I'm not mistaken you get to those by just removing the knobs. Kind of tricky to do it, I think they tell you to grab them with a section of rubber hose.

Thank Gilly...I'll try that!

And welcome back! ;)

Sure enough, pulled out the middle knob and voila! The bulb resides in a socket at the 6 o'clock position.

Looks like I need surgical tweezers to remove it though, but the hose trick looks like it'll work as well.

Only one bulb...a large plastic bezel allows the bulb to illuminate the rear of the adjacent knob displays...
