light not working on heat control
I tried searching for an answer to this question, but could not find one (unless I'm using the wrong search terms...).
Just recently I noticed that one of my heat control knobs no longer lights up. I have a 2009 hatchback, so my control knobs are vertical. It's the bottom one that controls the temp setting. Any idea on how to fix this so it lights up again? It wouldn't be such a problem other than the fact that when I drive to and from work, it's always dark out (4:30am leave home, and back in my car for the drive home anywhere between 5:30pm and 7:00pm).

There is a tiny bulb on the back of the knob assembly. You remove the two vertical trim pieces, pull off the AC control panel, and then gain access to the back of the knob. A small flat blade screwdriver can then be used to remove the bulb (which is mounted in a recess in the center of the back of the knob).

Or, I had same issue. CD player wiring was shorting out the fuse for the climate controls. Replaced fuse and tidied up wiring and it all works now.

As for your suggestion of the fuse, if that were the case, wouldn't all the lights not work for the climate controls? In my case, only the 1 didn't work.
