If those little orange lights dont work.......do your guage pod lights work? My orange lights were out, when I blew up my dimmer switch by accidentally connecting 2 pos/neg wires.

I popped out the dimmer switch, and hotwired it with a cut in half bobby pin. I lost the dimmer effect, but got the lights back. Who really dims their lights anyhow?

Yes, All of the lights should work. There are bulbs in the controller. You can check them, maybe one is burned out. Yes, you should hear a motor operating the vents when you push individual buttons.

yeah, you pull the logicon from the dash. On top will be round grey screw-like things. twist them open and you'll see the button light bulbs. Replace as required.

I was told you had to replace the whole control head, the bulbs couldnt be replaced! I've got one bulb out-what is a "button" bulb? Is this the normal push in type you can get at any parts store?
