Title: Dash illumination on 93 Sidekick
Post by: 201093 on May 19, 2010, 11:46:13 PM

I've just purchased a 93 2 door Sidekick 4x4. Auto with Hard top. Clean in and out.
Just noticed tonight that the lighting for the heater controls aren't illuminated..but everything else is working.
Wondering if this would be a fuse..or a wire or something.

Thxs.

if everything else is working pull the heater controls and replace the small bulb in behind the panel. if bulb doesnt work check for power on the wires for the bulb, you may have a broken wire somewhere, but start with the simple things like replacing the bulb.

it took me 2 years to notice that the heater controls didnt light up on my truck. since i bought it the light was out. i replaced it and man what a difference.

I'll be looking into it this weekend...
also have to wax this thing...otherwise it's in excellent shape for the year.

Just a side note: when you pull the knobs off the controls to get the face off, use bent needlenose pliers to hold the levers as you pull the knob. They don't like being pulled on, especially the heater fan switch.
