I was planning on ripping apart the thermo controls and throwing some solder around. h:

 

Ive heard of people going in, checking all the wiring, and replacing the bulbs and everything working dandy.

kind of a pain in the ass IMO for just some intermitent lights.

 

My climate control is out in my coupe as well. Are their bulbs in there?

 

I heard there were but were a pain in the butt to replace. Guess it all depends on how bad you want your climate control lit up huh? :chuckles:

 

Well, the interior lighting sucks in civics so yeah, i'd like to get them working.

 

Tru tru, one day this summer I'll attempt changing the bulbs. During the week busy at college and weekend working every minute. If you do it, let me know how easy/hard it was.

 

Yeah, it's not exactly on the top of my list but eventually i'll get around to it.

 

yeah, mine does it too. I kinda like no lights in the HVAC, since it makes night driving a bit easier.

one of these days, I'll pull it and put some LEDs in or something....

 

The problem you are all experiencing is an intermittent connection of the filament in the bulb. It's a common problem in old light bulbs. The filament is broken, yet the two broken ends are still touching eachother. As the bulb warms up, the metal gets softer and they separate (only by a little bit). Tapping the bulb hooks them back together, but it's only a temporary fix as I'm sure you have all noticed. A new bulb will fix the problem.

yeah, I had figured something to that extent. Every now and then when I hit a bump, half my hvac lights up.

she's someone special to me
