Damn.. A light is out

Hi,

Recently the light behind my unit that controls the air inside of the car went out. The one that has the climate control..

Any idea how I can fix that light.

I hope it is not to hard or expensive.

I drive a 2000 E430 4-matic.

Thanks.

Easy

you need the radio keys that are also used for the climate control.PM me for delivered on the boxed set cluster hooks and keys for when you lose a cluster bulb also.
you insert the keys pull the climate module and on the bottom side is a tiny white twist out socket,you twist it out pull out the little bulb and replace it.

Like dead

liquid crystal numbers?If they are failing and you can't read them but the unit still works,it is only the display failing and a new module is the solution,or one from a wrecking yard.I can get a deal on new and will check some yards I have special access to.You can also check online at http://www.mbpartsonline.com/

Thats funny! Guess I need a new, or good used unit. It still displays and works fine. I just dont like looking at wild lines going through the liquid display.
