No AC/Climate control and panel light??? help me out plz

[optonano]

Desperately need your help:

Went to Bestbuy to have my old bose system replaced with a in dash deck CD receiver this afternoon. After it is done, found the AC/Climate control panel and driver side's gauge lights not working!@!@ they were functioning well before.

Checked all fuses, all are good. Checked harness back of climate control, no voltage input shown?? totally clueless how this could happen. Headlights/horn/emergency lights/wipers are fine.

Anyone could send me an circuit schematic of above systems? or give me any advice on that? Thanks so much in advance!!

I would say that the bulbs(or whatever it is) have blown. You may have to get a used controls from someone. Check the classifieds as there are many people parting out Qs.

Ozzie replaced all his bulbs with LEDs and he might be able to "shed some light" if the HVAC controller has separate bulbs.

It is a common problem, all of the units go dark one time or another. There is a guy who offers to repair them at $100 a pop, im assuming its more of a permanent fix (fixing all wear parts with something newer). However for $100 bucks you could afford a lifetime supply of the units if you buy them used and buy smart

If anybody DID actually get to the lights in there I would love to know how, I spent over an hour trying to pull the thing apart. Looks like when Infiniti pieced it together they wanted it to stay that way

Best advice is to get a used one on the cheap the classifieds are the first place to look and then ebay or your local junkyard the second. Hopefully this solves your problem, good luck

Make sure the hazard light plug is connected properly. Check the rear defrost too. I remember one of them causing other things to not function when the plug is not connected.
