Orange Lights for heat buttons: suddenly out?

A strange question for ya: the orange lights on all the heat buttons are out. I could have swore that they were working a few weeks ago, but maybe I am dreaming.

I thought maybe it was a bad fuse, but no other interior lights seem to be out from what I can tell. And yes, heat works.

Any thoughts?

there's a fuse that seems to control just those(whatever else it does i don't know) - it's a 15 amp one on the far left of the fuse block, facing the same direction as the vehicle - not side to side.

That is the A/C fuse and Duh! There was NO fuse in that slot. Wonder why it didn't work?


Thanks!

the lights are also replaceable individually as well. the bulbs can be purcased at radio shack. you remove the light socket from the bottom of the logicon and replace the bulb from there.

i was wondering how to replace them, one of mine is out. they're different from all the other ones? I figured they'd be the super tiny ones like they use for the dummy lights and the air *****.

They are small. I had one go out many years ago, and I just swapped bulbs with another button that never gets used(thus was always off). When all is said and done, you'd never know a bulb was out.
