I didn't even know there were supposed to light up. I just thought it was a poor chevy design. None of my control ***** light up: headlight, temp control, fan speed, or vent control. If there supposed to be lights illuminating all of these? Where is the light located? Thank guys.

Yes all of your a/c heater and headlight/foglight areas should light up.

And saint69 who knows? maybe a loose wire that was grounding out. Hence why it worked for a minute? My horn quit working for that reason.

All you can do is pull the dash apart and look really

Is there a fuse that feeds power to all four illumination lights or is there a seperate one for the lights and on for the vent controls? Which fuse should be checked?

Where is the light supposed to be? right behind the ****, so I just need to pull that off or do i need to take apart the dash? Thanks for the help.

Mine does the same thing! Kinda funny, if I bash the dash a couple times it will come on, then when i hit a little bump in the road or something it will go back out. Sounds like a short but i am too lazy to care about that light.
