This is probably up Dale's alley, so hopefully he can help me. One of my small lights went out that goes behind the temp control dials. There's 4 that go in there so I was going to replace all 4 to just get it over with. Took the bulbs out and on the bulb it says S:14V 1.4w. The closest I could find at the parts store was 1.2w of the same size. Anyone know what the part number is for these tiny bulbs and where I can get them. I tried the manual but really couldn't pin point a bulb number for them. And for that matter, what bulb replaces the one that had gone out for the lighted keyhole entry?

This is the list of bulb numbers I have from the Sylvania site. The only one it gives is for the instrument panel but maybe it is the same?

Thanks for the reply. I used that site as well, but it's not one of those. The one that came close was a sylvania 3721 or maybe a 2721 bulb. After plugging in the 1.2 w compared to the 1.4w, I doubt I'll notice a difference. I'll wait a couple more days and wait before I put the dash back in since it's a pain to take out just to swap out the little bulbs. I had gotten new interior dash pieces (94 model for my 93) to get rid of the scratch prone pieces. Just wanted to do it all while I was in there.

What about the lock light? Looks like it's directly wired to the bulb.

The bulbs you probably found were #74 bulbs. That is all that is commonly available to replace them; like you said, you won't see a difference.
The key-light is the same, you will just have to pull hard (but carefully) on the bulb to get it out of the socket - it is very tight

I got mine from radio shack. Don't remember the part number (or where I wrote it down) but you should be able to find it in there store.

 

About the key light, I should clarify. I was referring to the light that is right above the door lock, not the ignition light. The one for the door lock seemed to be wired in, ie not a plug type. I appreciate the help with the bulbs, I'll just use the 1.2w bulbs if I can't track a few down at the local Radio Shack tomorrow. I guess I could bend the light wires out and solder them to the wires for the door lock and see if that works.
I also bought a new door lock set since mine had the usual plastic slider (the piece that pushed inward when you inseted the key) busted and looked like crap.

Tim

 

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood.
For the light in the door lock, it is wired in and needs to be soldered in. I actually replaced it with a LED - it might even be easier.

 

Do you have any part numbers diagrams for the led installation ? ? ?
