Default Climate contol lights?

1990 Cherokee pioneer
Ok so im assuming that the climate control panel is suppose to be back lit? I have 0 light coming from behind them and it makes it kind of hard at night if I want to switch the settings. Could it be all bulbs are burnt out? If anyone has a write up on how to change them could you please link me to it. Also what fuse do they run off of aux lights? Thank you for any help

Remove the radio and the bulb sockets just twist out of the back of the heater control.

Yes. It takes two #74 bulbs.

I just went out and got the owner's manual from my wife's XJ. No big deal. Look what else I found:



Jeep Engine Oil Viscosity
This was taken from pages 82 and 83 of the 1989 Chrysler/Jeep owners manual.
Selecting Engine Oil Viscosity
When changing or adding engine oil select the proper grade by using the chart on the following page. Select the grade that corresponds to the ambient temperature range you expect to encounter before your next oil change.
30*F to 100*F+ 20W-40 or 20W-50
0*F to 100*F+ 10W-30 or 10W-40
-20*F to 60*F 5W-30

More to come and I'm gonna modify the TPS one. It gets confusing for some folks. I need a site to host the write-ups so I can just post a link to all of them for people who need help.

I suppose. I have to have access to update them. I tried it on NAXJA and they were less than cooperative.....couldn't update or add to them as I completed more write-ups. Last time I asked a Mod over there to help me add new write-ups, it fell on deaf ears. No response whatsoever.

The same thing happened to me when I put in my pioneer stereo. Is that a bad thing? Before, all the lights worked. After, none work. Its such a simple control that I honestly don't mind not being able to see it at night. Its just something I have to get to eventually.
