Headlight knob doesnt illuminate
 

hey guys.
My headlight controls do not illuminate! i changed the bulb and still nothing. Few days ago the lights started working for few min and then went out again... well today i got a new switch with a new bulb and they still do not work..i wigled the wires and still nothing...any ideas?
Thanks

mine has never worked but i dont even care. Id rather really not even see it at night.

checked the fuses..all good...come on guys..help me out.

I didn't even know there were supposed to light up. I just thought it was a poor chevy design. None of my control knobs 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.

does anyone have a diagram where the wires are goin from the switch harness?

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 knob, so I just need to pull that off or do i need to take apart the dash? Thanks for the help.

well damn...i just tested all 3 bulbs i have and they all seem to be SHOT.....u can test those little bulbs by puttin a + and - on those little metal wires on the side right?

if you had a test light that would work

Here's a wiring diagram. It's in 2 parts.

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.

i checked all my wires and they seem fine..they are all gettin power but the bulb wont work..i connected the bulb directly to power/ground and still nothing so i am guessin its the bulb...

yup..its the bulb..just gettho rigged a differnt bulb and it worked...does anyone have a part number for that tinny ass bulb?


Thanks
