Default Odd question. .

I know you all are tired of me asking questions but I'm still getting acquainted with this car. So my apologies for being Mr. 21 questions.

My climate control lights haven't worked since I got her but something odd happened last night. When I hit the unlock button to get out they sprung on! For a brief second but each time I hit unlock they turned on again. Also this odd looking warning light turned on within my dash looked like O) (O. Basically two headlights facing each other symbol.

Side note, what type bulbs does our instrument dash panel take? Type 74 is what I gathered from doing research.

I think I answered my own question. When my friend butchered the stereo harness he left out the illumination. I'm going to try hooking it back up to see if it helps. If not, anyone have a wiring diagram of the climate control?

I'm pretty certain its not the LED's and instead a short in your system, aka broken or mangled connection.

I'm going to resolder the factory harness. Butchered is an understatement. I'm fearing he cut into the harness for other things as well.

Wanted to use this old thread to ask

What temperature range does our climate control range? I know most cars are 60* F to 85* F

My LCD display has broke so its either really hot or really cold lol
