Climate control light starting to go out?
Hi,
I have noticed that the light for the climate control has started behaving randomly where sometimes it comes on while other times does not. When it does not turn on, then pressing the "Auto" button a few times somehow brings it on. Is the bulb going bad or is there something more to it?
I have searched through the forums for existing threads about climate control light. I will need http://www.perfectmarketaudio.com/keys.html keys, but I am not exactly sure about the bulb. http://www.worldimpex.com/item_detail.html?sku=843504 Is this it? I called the closest dealership and they are selling the bulb for $4 so that is cheaper than ordering online ($11 shipping!). Also, they don't sell the radio keys so I will have to get those online.
Thanks!

Oh, cool, so there are spare bulbs in there?
So, you think the weird behavior is because the bulb is going out and nothing more?
I called the local dealer and they are asking for $70 including parts and labor. I am a curious one so I went ahead and order ordered the removal keys. I will check it out myself, especially if this is going to be a common issue

Bulb Size Climate Control Unit
I was curious to know if the bulb size for the climate control unit was the same for my 1999 E320 Wagon.
Here is the link I found for the bulb that was cheapest:

Does this bulb work? Thanks.

Nope! this is the single bulb! you need the bulb with the socket integrated.
This is what you need:

bulb swap out. Few bucks for bulb, no charge for labor.
I had the same issue with my 2000 E320 a few months back. Just bought the bulb from the parts dept and my service rep at the dealership just swapped it out in a few mins using their radio keys. No charge for labor. YMMV. The bulb I replaced was like the first bulb referenced (without the socket).
