BULB - A/C-HEAT CONTROL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the
lamp, the socket or the lamp wiring.
NOTE: There may be minor variations in the locations of the bulb/bulb holder units on the back of the A/C-heater control as a result of
various optional A/C-heater control units. However, the bulb types and service procedures are identical for all of these bulbs.
1. Align the bulb holder and bulb (3) with the keyed opening in the circuit board of the front A/C-heater control (2).
2. Insert the bulb holder and bulb straight into the circuit board until the bulb holder is firmly seated.
3. Using a small thin-bladed screwdriver, rotate the bulb holder clockwise about 30 degrees on the circuit board to lock it into place.
4. Reinstall the center bezel (1) onto the instrument panel. See: Dashboard / Instrument Panel/Service and Repair/Instrument Panel Bezel -
Installation.
5. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

BULB - CMTC CONTROL
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before
attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component
diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to
discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the SRS. Failure to take the proper
precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
CAUTION: Always use the correct bulb size and type for replacement. An incorrect bulb size or type may overheat and cause damage to the
lamp, the socket or the lamp wiring.
NOTE: There are provisions for up to four bulb/bulb holder units on the Compass Mini-Trip Computer (CMTC) circuit board. The two
outboard bulbs illuminate the CMTC push buttons, while the two center bulbs illuminate the optional universal transmitter push
buttons. Therefore, the center bulb locations are only populated on vehicles equipped with the optional universal transmitter.
