Good morning everyone, I have searched high and low for this answer and cannot find it so was hoping you all may know.

 

My climate control works great. No issues with it working. My issue is the lights for it (specifically 2 buttons) no longer light up at night. Since it's only a 2018, obviously feel like that shouldn't be an issue. But dealer is telling me it may be hvac control, not under warranty. Since it does work, I'm doubting that. I'm thinking it's just 2 bulbs (if each button has its own individual bulb). 

 

Does anyone know if the climate control buttons have individual bulbs or if it's just a light strip or something like that?Resized_20210827_041659.thumb.jpeg.f8b4ad9b92f85bba65d13dd08bda06c6.jpeg

When I had my 2014 Silverado I had a few lights out. They had to replace the whole unit.

I'm having the same issue with my 2018 1500 Silverado. The rear defrost button was blinking on and off now it wont light up anymore. Now the upper and lower vent switch ( the one that you have on in your pic ) light is blinking on and off. I assume its just a matter of time before that light goes out also. Mechanically everything works. Just the button lights are starting to go out.

I think I'll wait for a few more lights to go out before I replace the whole unit. Looks pretty straight forward.

Thanks You

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
