Default a/c control panel lights problem.

Hey guys im having problems with the lights that light up my a/c controls. They have never worked since I've had the truck and I've had it for 3 years. I figured it was just the bulbs but I cranked my truck this morning and they all lit up? I know the wires and connectors are fine because I checked them out when I had to take my whole dash out to replace my heater core. What do y'all think?

It's the bulbs. I had one go out in mine, the I would bang on it and it would sometimes come back on. So I replaced it ( took me less than 3 mins) and now it works fine.

If you go to your local parts store, they can look it up. If I remember tomorrow, I'll let you know.

If you are talking about getting to the AC bulbs, then all you have to do is pull off the part of the dash that goes around the radio/AC controls. Then you will see i think 6 bolts, and the AC controls will slide out.
