If anyone is going to be installing a new stereo soon would you mind looking at how the AC/Temperature controls are hooked up? When i installed my new head unit the backlights (blue) stopped lighting up on the air temperature and vent control. The AC light and circulate lights still work but the rest is just dark. I'm hoping i either just blew a fuse somewhere or unplugged the two LEDs that light up the controls.

With all the wires coming off of the stereo it's hard to see if something accidently came unplugged.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

 

I just noticed mine too. The dimmer doesnt work. MY speedo and odom are dark. My fuses are fine. My friend had the same issue.

 

My dimmer works fine on the speedo and the odom its just the vent and temperature controls under the stereo. I took everything apart and there are 2 blue LEDs to light up but they don't turn on. The little AC and circulate lights work fine just the blue LEDs don't come on. GRR!

 

No one is installing a radio this weekend?

 

the blue LEDs blow easily. i had one of them go out, i just went to my dealer and said just that. had to wait for the part, but they covered it under warranty (its like a 3 dollar part and a 5 minute install).

 

That seems really weird. How bad is the electrical to have both LEDs blow already?

 

The bulbs are very fragile. What i did was installed red ones to match with everything else. It looks cool. It made my alpine head unit look a little out of place though since the buttons on it are green.
