Had to get in and correct an issue with my after-market radio, and when I put the center console upper panel back in, the illumination for the lower left half of the fan speed control is now out. I have been unable to find any listing for bulbs or lamps in this area. Any ideas which bulb or lamp this side takes before I pull the panel back off?

I had some go out on the mode selector on the other side. I believe there are 2 bulbs per knob. I would just replace them all while in there personally. I think the bulbs are not the strongest ones ever in terms of durability.

Well this is the first time any have gone out on my 2006 despite a lot of pull-off's for that trim panel. Do you recall what bulb # was correct?

More will follow because I think they are all the same. I’m sorry I don’t. It may be worth looking in the chilton manual or just popping one out and reading the base.
 






The correct bulb is a 73LL. There are two blue twist-lok bulb mounts, each between the three rotary controls.
