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???

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.

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.
