Check the easiest thing first- fuses, then check the bulbs itself.

Probably just blew a fuse. My 3rd gen cavalier would blow a fuse when id replace a taillight bulb, nothing else.

Does anyone have any tips or procedures for replacing HVAC bulbs? I believe they need replacing as all other lighting works and fuses are okay.
Thank you

On my '99 they are wired in parallel so if one went out the other would still be on. I would take the bezel off and pull the HVAC thing out and check the plugs behind it. The bulbs feed from the defrost/AC controls side so if they work then the plug should be in right. Other guess would be an inline connector buried behind the dash between those two lights and the cluster. If that was loose I'm not sure how to get to it without taking the whole mofo apart.

Grave digging here :/

I've seen lots of threads on this issue, none with confirmed resolution. I've got all lights working except for the HVAC lights.

I tried to replace the little 74's but I don't think I can get them out with out smashing them, and ended up leaving them in. But the line isn't getting power anyway so the LEDs would just have been bonus anyhow. All fuses are good.

Where is this connection getting broken? I know I'm not the only one, but who's fixed this successfully?
