AC indicator light not working

Hello fellows,

I'm not sure if any one has experienced that or have any thoughts on this, but my AC indicator light stopped working. The AC itself works fine, but the light (The green light on top of the AC button is not). It gets confusing as I don't initially know if the AC is on or off. Is there an easy fix? thoughts?

Unfortunately, the only way to fix it was to change the entire panel. I changed it under warranty. Cost was $1200 parts and labor

Let me know if you will need a replacement panel, I believe I still have an extra donor panel, if you do I will check.

I was hoping you'd say no to the cooled seats lol, in terms of just hooking you up with the spare I have.. Unfortunately the donor panel I have does not have cooled seats function, so it won't work. all your buttons, knobs, etc stay put, the only thing you'd have to swap is the control panel underneath. Ebay has none that I could find, I remember that was the case when I was looking for my donor panel. Good luck!

Here's link to my old post with the detailed pic of the control panel button arrangement.

EDIT: You already answered my question. (Blame my lack of reading on the phone )

Question for you since you pulled it apart. For the AC light, is it just a control board with leds I need or is the board/leds fixed permanently to the button array. Just wondering if I should search for just the board or the button array. I think I found a ventilated climate control for $200. Little more than I was hoping for though.

Those LED are soldered to the board. Have you tried soldering a new LED bulb on it?

Button array sits on top of silicone, which makes contact with board, LEDs are fixed to board, you just need the board technically.

PM answered, I do still have the board, which will solve your LEDs going out, the button array I do not have. Just to confirm the board I have is without ventilated seating.

maDjzo,

I tried to send you a PM but your inbox is full. I am highly interested in your spare AC panel board if you don't have a taker already. My AC green light is out as well and I don't have ventilated seating so it should work for me.

I could reimburse you whatever amount you think is fair. Let me know!

Make sure to select the 11 digit part nbr that fall within your build date/production date. also, you only mention one option code...so that is what I posted. If you have ceramic dials...then that is a different part nbr:

I have removed my instrument cluster as signal light is out, I will remove this panel today and try to solder on new LED lights to both. I'll post my results.
