Default Light out on A/C controls?

I have an 03 Sierra and one of the lights that light up the switch that lets you scroll from hot to cold doesn't light up. Does that make sense? Like just one side of the hot to cold doesn't light up but the other does. How do I replace that bulb?

i have read alot of guys on here replacing them... wait till some of the others wae up, and see what they say... i know on some of them they just had twist lok bulbs while others had soldered on bulbs.... but you still may be able to replace them

I think the 03's have soldered in bulbs, well on the digital controls anyway. I have a bulb or two out myself. Either way I'm sure they can be replaced. I have seen someone on here that was selling digital controls with blue leds in it. Some pretty small soldering tho.

I think you guys are looking for me. And Yes all 03+ interior lights are soldered in. I have done Clusters, Digital HVAC, manual HVAC, Headlight switches.... Everything.

I can replace factory bulbs or put in Blue LED's. I have replaced servos in clusters and done small repairs on HVAC Controllers.

and Yeah the lights are tiny as hell.


(Cameras do not show blue light on a dark background very well)
