The easiest and simplest way to fix the burned out bulb is to trade cars with someone whose bulb still works, like me.

Or, take a look at this thread in the archives:

Oh thank God it's not something I have to dismantle, and Mac Gyver up. Sweet. I'm relieved. Thanks for the help guys.

You can also try tapping the area around the climate control panel with your fingers. It worked for me just when I was about to replace the bulb.

I wish that would work in getting the LCD to work properly again. Glad to see that if the lights go out - it is an easy fix.

Actually I had the outside temp lights go out once and I just banged on the dash a few times and they came back on too, kinda ghetto I guess. But I havent had a problem since.
