mrdavies Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Im just curios if the three knobs for my climate control ( fan, temp, and direction) are supposed to be lit? I noticed they do not illuminate. They work fine except i think they should be lit. I have a 2011 transit connect wagon, and have had it for a few months. thanks mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103west43rd Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Hello mrdavies, yes, the climate controls are illuminated. The climate control assembly contains 4 internal lamps. They are supplied voltage from the Central Junction Box (fuse panel) to the left of the sterring column, fuse F132, 10amp. The circuit also supplies voltage to the illumination of the air inlet mode switch/ac switch/defroster switch/hazard flashed switch/floor shifter. Are those switches illuminated?

mrdavies Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hey thanks for the fuse location, i will check it later this week when I'm in the car. YES the air inet mode switch/ac switch/defroster switch/hazard flashed switch ,+ shifter ARE illuminated. I guess this means its not the fuse... how could those bulbs (four of them) be burned out ? thanks mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103west43rd Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 mrdavies, if the climate control assembly has one connector the feeds voltage to all three controls, it could be loose or fallen off. I have never seen the back of the assembly, so it is just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSUPC Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Had this same problem with one of my 2012 Connects. Just got done replacing all 3 of the light bulbs. Just as soon as I get the pictures off the camera and figure out how to post them to this site they will be added. All 3 selector knobs were not burning but everything else was working fine. Fuse F132 was check prior to ripping the center console apart and was in working order. Pictures will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSUPC Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 This seems to be the best one that I took of the control panel while it was out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSUPC Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 And here is a picture of the bulb that was replaced. The bulb has no model number on it. It only says that it is a 14v 65ma. I was lucky and had some bulbs laying around the shop from a circular knitting machine from my dads old job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
