Minor issue, need help!

For some reason the lights for the AC controls aint coming on at all. Even when I switch the headlights to the first click. Everything else such as the shift lights come on & radio but not the AC control lights. Any ideas???

Blown fuse?

Is it just the HAVC lights and NOT the stereo and other stuff? Does your HVAC work like does the A/C, fans, etc work?
I was going to say check the dimmer, but that should control all the lights like the radio and gauges too.

I don't know the differences between your S controls and that of a GTS, but if it's none of the above then it could only be one of two things really, dead bulb/led or a bad connection. I'd look for the later.

I vote bulb is burnt out.

Yes my AC and heat works, its just the light that wont come on.. I doubt its the dimmer but i will try it.. and i checked all the fuses under the drive dash and hood, they're all fine.... idk about the bulb being blown out, i only have 14k miles on it, its practically new.

I don't think they are bulbs. I think they are all LEDs. You should take a picture and post it here. If all of the lights are out for that HVAC cluster, then it's not a single bulb/LED issue, but more an electrical circuit issue.

Then it's under warranty, let the dealer worry about it.

i found the problem!.. I have an aftermarket radio and the orange/white wire on the harness is the dimmer switch wire and it was touching another wire, so it wasnt gettin its proper connection cuz it was getting a negative feed from some other wire, i cuz the wire so it wont touch nothing and the lights came on!!... crazy huh, something so small and simple.
