Hi All, when I bought my Camry the climate control panel was missing some background lighting. Finally got around to replacing the climate control lights with new bulbs from the local dealership. Not the 3 leds dead center of the control *****, rather the 2 bulbs in back of the panel that light up the surrounding area of the dial. Went out of town for about a month and when I came back noticed they are dark again. Any ideas ?

 

Check the terminals of the wedge bulb adapter , they are basically copper contacts and rely on pressure to make contact (one contact per side) , also check with a multi meter with dc volts if you have voltage at the socket with the lights on , if there is no voltage you need to trace back the lines from there and check the last point where it has voltage

 

Thanks Rennox, had basically given up on the dark climate control panel but your breathed new life into it.
