The fan, heat and a/c control ***** underneath the radio in my '98 F150 should be illuminated from the within but they aren't. Also directly behind the steering wheel, the lower half of the dash lights are out. Maybe a fuse or bulb is burned out, does anybody know?

 

Im having the same problem with my 2002 f 150! any ideas what the problem is? Anybody?

 

I think the two issues I posted about my dash lamps turned out to be two separate fixes. The heater and a/c control ***** not being lit was just two easy bulbs to replace. Remove the shroud from around the radio and heater *****, I think it just snapped apart but was tough so be careful. Underneath that were several screws to remove and then you should see two black plastic bulb holders. Don't remember the bulb number but they were easy to get and cheap. Still haven't attempted the lower speedo area dash light, as research showed it to be fairly big job and I never seem to have time. Maybe one of these days.

 

I just bought a 2002 before Christmas and only found out about the light problem when it got dark. Didn't figure a bulb replace would be as complicated as described her pulling stuff off and needing a screw stick to replace bulbs is another piece of BS engineering (IMHO).
